Shutting Down Your MacBook
If you aren’t going to use your MacBook for a day or two, it’s best to shut it down. The
sleep indicator light goes on briefly during the shutdown process.
To shut down your computer, do one of the following:
 Choose Apple () > Shut Down from the menu bar.
 Press the power (®) button and click Shut Down in the dialog that appears.
If you plan to store your MacBook for an extended period of time, see “Storing Your
MacBook” on page 107 for information about how to prevent your battery from
draining completely.
Calibrating Your Battery
To get the longest running time from your battery, calibrate it sometime during the
first week you have your MacBook and recalibrate occasionally to keep your battery
functioning at its fullest capacity.
