It is 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.

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

❖

Use the Turn Off command if you are using the Windows

 

XP Home version operating system, or the Windows

 

XP 

Professional operating system when not connected to a 
domain server.

❖

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, you can use 
the Windows Turn Off command when not connected to 
a domain server or the Shut down 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. For
