Learning the Basics

Powering down the computer

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3

When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode
in which you left it, including all open programs and files
you were using.

If you power down using Standby and the battery discharges
fully, your information will be lost. Be sure to save your work
first.

To power down the computer using the Standby command,
click Start, Turn off computer, and select Stand By.

Sample Turn off computer Windows dialog box

If you hold down the Shift key, Stand By becomes Hibernate in
the Turn off computer dialog box. To enter hibernation mode,
you must hold down the Shift key while you select Hibernate.

The computer saves the status of all open programs and files,
turns off the display, and enters into a low-power mode. The
on/off light blinks amber, indicating the machine is in
Standby mode.

Going into Standby mode more quickly

You can also configure the computer to enter into Standby
mode by either pressing the power button or closing the
display panel. You can also specify an amount of time after
which the computer automatically enters into Standby mode.
