Shutting down your notebook
It is important that you shut down your computer properly so as not to lose unsaved data.
To shut down your computer, proceed as follows:
1 Click the Start button.
2 Click Turn Off Computer.
The Turn off computer screen appears.
3 Click Turn Off.
Wait for your computer to turn off automatically.
The power indicator turns off.
4 Turn off any peripherals connected to your computer.
✍ Respond to any prompts warning you to save documents or to consider other users.
If you are unable to shut down your computer;
- Close all software in use.
- If applicable, remove the PC Card. To do so, double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the taskbar. Select the hardware you want to
unplug and click Stop.
- Disconnect any USB devices.
- Press the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete> keys at the same time. If you have not changed the default, the Task Manager will appear. Select Shut
Down > Turn Off.
- Press <Alt>+<F4> to see the Turn off computer window, and press Turn Off.
If this does not work, you can hold the power switch in the OFF position for more than four seconds. This will shut down the computer. This operation
may result in data loss.
If you are not using the computer for a short period of time, you can save power by using the Standby mode. To enter Standby mode, press the
<Fn> and <Esc>-keys simultaneously. Or go to the Start menu, select Turn Off Computer, and then click on Stand By. For more details on power
management, see Using power saving modes (page 59).
