Windows Power Management
The Power Options icon located in the Windows Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the Power Options to set the timeout values for turning off the
display and hard disks whether you are running the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
Restarting the System
If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure.
1 From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows] + C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the
screen), then click [Settings] -> [Power].
2 Select Restart from the list.
Powering Off
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power
while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error, use the

power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([Windows]+C) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the
screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.
