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 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 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,
reducing the amount of power the computer draws when it’s not being used.
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.)
To put the computer to sleep, do this:
1 Press and hold the Power key for about two seconds.
2 Click the Sleep button.
WARNING
Once you put your computer to sleep, listen for the hard disk
to stop spinning before you move your Macintosh PowerBook. Moving
your Macintosh PowerBook with the hard disk spinning can damage
your computer.
