Turning off the computer
Using the power switch before shutting down the Windows
®
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make
sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk/disc is
being accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk/disc
and/or drive.
It is a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not
using it for a while.
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the
computer plugged into a power source (even though the
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery.
