It is a good idea to turn off your device when you are not using it for 
a while.

If you are using the device for the first time, leave the device 
plugged into a power source (even though the device is off) to fully 
charge the battery.

You have two options available for turning off the device: Shut 
down and Sleep mode. Each option has its advantages.

❖

Use shut down if you will not be using the device for several 
days or if you must turn off your device.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the shut down option to turn off 
your device, backup your data and make sure all disk activity lights 
are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, 
wait a few seconds before turning the device on again.

If you do not intend to use your device for a long period of time, turn 
off the device, disconnect the power plug from the plug socket, and 
store your device in a dry dust-free location.

❖

Letting the screen time-out or enter into Sleep mode allows the 
device to conserve power. When turning on the device again, 
the system automatically returns to the last screen viewed. 

To change the screen time-out setting, see 

The Shut down mode completely shuts down the device without 
saving your data or the current state of the device. Shut down mode 
closes all open apps, shuts down the operating system, and then 
turns off your tablet.

Always back up your data and settings before shutting down your 
tablet.
