Powering down the computer
❖ When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in
which you left it, including all open programs and files you
were using.
NOTE: If you power down using the Standby command and
the main battery discharges fully, your information will be
lost. Be sure to save your work first.
To power down the computer using the Standby command, click
