Turning off the computer
It’s a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not using it
for a while.
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the computer
plugged into a power source (even though the computer is off) to
fully charge the main battery. With the computer off, it may take
up to three hours to recharge the main battery.
Guidelines for turning off the computer:
❖
If you have work in progress and aren’t connected to a
network, use the Windows Standby command to save your
system settings to memory so that, when you turn on the
computer again, you automatically return to where you left
off. See
for more
information.
NOTE: Save your data when you are using Standby mode. If
the battery discharges fully, your information will be lost. For
more information about Standby mode, see
.
❖
To leave the computer off for a longer period, use the
Windows Turn Off Computer command. Alternatively, use
Hibernation to save the system settings to the hard disk. For
more information, see
“Powering down the computer” on
.
❖
Never turn off the power while a disk light on the system
indicator panel is on. Doing so may damage your hard disk,
diskette drive, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or
DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
