Different ways to turn the computer on and off
Before you can use the modem, you must connect it to a standard
voice-grade telephone line. See “Connecting to a power source”
on page 45 for details.
Different ways to turn the computer on and off
Instead of turning on your computer by pressing the power button,
you can:
❖ Set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you
designate. This option is helpful for transferring files by
modem at night. You can set the computer to turn on and send
or receive the files while you are asleep. This option is called
Auto Power On.
❖ Turn the computer on and off by opening and closing the
display panel. This option is a convenient way to turn on the
power, and prevents you from closing the display panel while
the computer is on. This option is called Panel Power On/Off.
NOTE: Pushing the power button before shutting down the

the drive-in-use light are off. If you turn off the power while a
disk is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the
disk and/or drive.
