Getting Started

Turning off the power

The power can be turned off in one of three modes, either Shut Down

Mode, Hibernation Mode or Sleep Mode.

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.

1. If you have entered data, either save it to the hard disk drive or to other

storage media.

2. Make sure all disk/disc activity has stopped before removing the

CD/DVD or floppy diskette.

3. Click Start.

4. Click the arrow button ( ) located in the power management buttons

( ) and select Shut Down from the menu.

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 indicator is 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 switches or devices, and canceling 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.
