Learning the Basics
This chapter lists some computing tips and provides
important information about basic features.
Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory
until you save it to the disk. You will lose all unsaved
work, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must
restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge
while you are working. Your computer can be configured
to warn you when the battery is running low. See “Setting
battery alarms” on page 135.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that you can
turn on. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset
intervals. See your software documentation for details.
❖ Back up your files to diskettes (or other removable
storage media) on a regular basis. Label the backup
copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
