Turning on the Computer

To the computer on simply press the power button on the top of the computer.

When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-
key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power
button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options
(Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista to configure this fea-
ture.

Note that if you have included the Hybrid TV Tuner in your purchase option, you
may use the remote control unit to send the computer in to a power saving state.



Shut Down

Note that you should al-
ways shut your comput-
er down by choosing the
Shut Down command
from the Lock Button
Menu
in Windows Vis-
ta
. This will help prevent
hard disk or system
problems.



Forced Off

If the system “hangs”, and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn’t work, press the pow-
er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.

Power Button Sleep

Sleep is the default power mode when the power button is pressed for less than 4 seconds.
You may configure the options for the power button from the Power Options (Hardware
and Sound
menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OS’s documentation, or

“Configuring the Power Button” on page 3 - 7

for details).
