When you have finished working with your computer, you can put it to sleep
or shut it down.
 Putting your computer to sleep
If you will be away from your computer for a short time, put the computer to
sleep. When the computer is in sleep mode, you can quickly wake it to
resume use, bypassing the startup process. To put the computer to sleep, do
one of the following:
• Close the display panel.
• Press the power button.
• Open the charms bar, and then select Settings  Power  Sleep.
To wake up the computer, do one of the following:
• Press any key on the keyboard.
• Press the power button.
Attention:
Wait until the power indicator light starts blinking (indicating that the computer is in sleep
mode) before you move your computer. Moving your computer while the hard disk is
spinning can damage the hard disk, causing loss of data.
