4While holding down the trackpad button, move the arrow down the list of choices until
the words “Shut Down” are highlighted, then release the button.
Tr ou ble? 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 turn off the computer
by pressing the reset button (marked with an I) on the back of the computer.
Use this method only if you cannot click Shut Down or Restart in the dialog
box that appears 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,
reducing the amount of power the computer draws when it’s not being used.
When the PowerBook is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be
off. A small green light flashes on the top of the display when your computer
is in sleep. (Note: The computer must be on in order for you to put it to
sleep.)
To put the computer to sleep, follow these steps:
1Press and hold the Power key for about two seconds.
2In the dialog box that appears, click the Sleep button.
WARNING
Once you put your computer to sleep, listen for the hard disk
to stop spinning before you transport your Macintosh PowerBook.
Tr ansporting your Macintosh PowerBook with the hard disk spinning
can damage your computer.
