Shut Down Mode
When you turn off the power in Shut Down Mode no data will be saved and
the computer will boot to the operating system's main screen the next time
it is turned on.

storage media.
2. Make sure all disk/disc activity has stopped before removing the
CD/DVD/BD or floppy diskette.
3. Click Start.
4. Click the Shut down button ( ).
5. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer.
Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive/Optical Disc Drive indicators are off.
If you turn off the power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you may
lose data or damage the disk.
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so
could cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause
data loss.
Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait
a short period to avoid any potential damage.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless
communication functionalities or devices, and cancelling settings that
reactivate the computer automatically, such as a timer recording function.
Failure to completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the
operating system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve
unsaved data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems,
possibly causing serious injury.
■ Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in
Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode
(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in
memory could be lost.
