Waking up your notebook
When you do not use your notebook for several minutes, or if you close the
LCD panel without turning your notebook off, it may enter a power-saving
mode called Standby. While in Standby, the standby indicator lights.
If your notebook is in Standby mode, pressing the power button to “wake” it
up. For more information on changing power-saving settings, see “Changing
power settings” on page 152.
Turning off your notebook
To turn off your notebook:
1 Click Start, then click Turn Off Computer. The Turn Off Computer dialog box
opens.
2 Click Turn Off. Windows shuts down and turns off your notebook.
Important If for some reason you cannot use the Turn Off Computer
option in Windows to turn off your notebook, press and
hold the power button for about five seconds, then
release it.
