Turning off the computer
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.
Options for turning off the computer
Depending on the operating system installed, you have more than
one option available for turning off the computer: Shut Down,
Hibernate, and Sleep. Each option has its advantages.
❖
Use the Shut Down or Hibernate command if you will not be
using the computer for several days or if you must turn off your
computer.
You must turn off your computer in order to upgrade your
computer's internal hardware (such as memory).
Pressing the power button before shutting down the Windows
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the
system indicator panel's disk light and the drive-in-use light are off.
If you turn off the power while a disk/disc is being accessed, you
may lose data or damage the disk/disc and/or drive.
