Getting Started
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Windows 98 Start menu, check that the Hard
Drive, DVD/CD-ROM, CD-RW, PC Card and the
Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See
figure 2-5 on page 10) If you turn off the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
assure that your notebook shuts down without error, use
the Windows shut down procedure.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows,
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK to shutdown your notebook.
4. Move the power switch to the off position.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.
CAUTION
Never turn your notebook off while an application is
running. Be sure to close all files, exit all applications,
and shut down your operating system prior to turning
off the power with the power switch. If files are open
when you turn the power off, you will lose any changes
that have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.
