Getting Started
Turning off the computer

It’s 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. With the computer off, it may take 
up to three hours to recharge the main battery.

Guidelines for turning off the computer:

❖

If you have work in progress and aren’t connected to a 
network, use the Windows Standby command to save your 
system settings to memory so that, when you turn on the 
computer again, you automatically return to where you left 
off. See 

 for more 

information.

❖

To leave the computer off for a longer period, use the 
Windows Turn Off Computer command. Alternatively, use 
Hibernation to save the system settings to the hard disk. For 
more information, see 

. 

❖

Never turn off the power while a disk light on the system 
indicator panel is on. Doing so may damage your hard disk, 
diskette drive, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or 
DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
