When and how to turn off the computer
It’s a good idea to turn off your computer when you’re not using it 
for a while.
Turning off the computer for a short period of time 
If you have work in progress and expect to resume shortly, use the 
Windows Suspend/Standby command to save your system 
settings so that, when you turn on the computer again, you 
automatically return to where you left off. 
In Windows 98 Second Edition, 
click StartShut Down, select Stand by and click OK
In Windows NT, 
click Start, then Suspend, or 
click StartShut Down, select Stand by and click OK
The computer saves the state of all open programs, turns off the 
display, and goes into a low-power suspended state.
The on/off light pulsates amber indicating the machine is in 
Standby mode.
NOTE: To turn the computer completely off, press and hold 
the power button until the computer stops beeping (4-5 
beeps).
You may configure your Tecra 8100 for additional Suspend/
Standby options. For more information, see “Starting where you 
left off” on page 93.
