Turning the computer off with the Shut Down command
You can also turn your computer off by using the Shut Down command in the
Special menu. Follow these steps:
1 If the computer is in sleep, press the Power key (or any key on the keyboard except Caps
Lock) to wake it.
2 Move the tip of the arrow to the word “Special” at the top center of the screen.
If the word “Special” does not appear at the top of the screen, you’re not
working in the Finder. Choose Finder from the Application menu at the
far-right end of the menu bar.
3 With the tip of the arrow on the word “Special,” press and hold down the trackpad button.
4 While holding down the trackpad button, move the arrow until the words “Shut Down”
are highlighted, then release the button.
Trouble? If a problem with the computer prevents you from using the Power
key or choosing Shut Down—for example, if the computer “freezes” so that
the pointer does not respond to the trackpad—you can restart the computer
by pressing the Command (x), Control, and Power keys simultaneously. If the
computer doesn’t restart, press the reset button (marked with an I) on the
back of the computer. Use this method only if you cannot choose Shut Down
or Restart when you press the Power key, or if you cannot choose either
command from the Special menu.
Putting the computer to sleep
Sleep is a power conservation feature of Macintosh PowerBook computers
that lets you instantly restart the computer and bypass the startup process.
You can extend the period of time your battery will power the computer by
putting the PowerBook to sleep when you won’t be using it for several
minutes or hours. The length of time the computer can be left in sleep
depends on the charge state of the battery.
When the computer is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be off.
A small green light flashes on the top of the display case when the computer
is in sleep. (Note: The computer must be on in order for you to put it to sleep.)
