It is a good idea to turn off your computer when you will not 
be using it for a while.

If you are using the computer for the first time, leave it 
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.

When you power down the computer, you have three options 
to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Hibernate, and 
Stand By. Each option has its advantages.

❖

Use the Shut down command if you are using the 
Windows

 

XP Professional operating system and are 

connected to a domain server.

❖

If you have work in progress and are not connected to a 
network, use the Windows Standby or Hibernate 
commands to save your system settings to memory so 
that when you turn on the computer again you will 
automatically return to where you left off.

❖

To leave the computer off for a longer period, use the 
Windows Turn Off command when not connected to a 
domain server or the Shut down command when 
connected to a domain server instead.

Never turn off the computer while any drive is in use. Doing so 
may damage the media in use and result in loss of data.

When you are finished, shut the computer down and close the 
display panel to keep dust and dirt out of the computer. 

If you close the computer while it is still on, one of the 
following actions will occur:
