The bookmark icon appears in the status panel when the OmniBook is in
Instant On mode.

When you press On/Off again, the last screen displayed appears—there’s no
waiting through a lengthy reboot.

Caution

If you plan to leave the OmniBook in Instant On for a long period of time
without ac power, be sure to save your work
first.

If you are connected to a local area network (LAN), be sure to connect the ac
adapter before you press the blue button. Without ac power, Instant On mode
disconnects you from the LAN.

To turn off the OmniBook (Save-To-Disk mode)

Use Save-To-Disk to turn off the OmniBook when you’re away from it for periods
longer than a week. This mode saves the state of the OmniBook to the hard disk
when you turn it off.

1. Unplug the ac adapter if it is connected and undock if docked.

2. Press FN+F12 to save to disk.

When you press On/Off to start the OmniBook again, the last screen displayed
appears—ready for you to resume working.

To shut down the OmniBook

In some situations, you may want to completely shut off the OmniBook so it reboots
when you turn it on. For example, if you are using the OmniBook on a network,
shutting down the OmniBook disconnects it from network resources.

1. Important

Save your work.

2. Exit windows.

3. Press CTRL+ALT+blue On/Off button.

When you restart the OmniBook by pressing the blue On/Off button, the
OmniBook reboots.
