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. Click Start
3. Click the Shut down button (
).
4. 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.
When it is displayed, be sure to read the Software License Terms 
carefully.
Make sure the Hard Disk Drive/Memory media slot indicators are 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 functionalities, 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.
