Turning off your notebook
Waking up your notebook
When you have not used your notebook for several minutes or if you
close the LCD panel without turning off your notebook, it may enter a
power-saving mode called Standby. While in Standby, the power indicator
flashes.
If your notebook is in Standby mode, press the power button to “wake”
it up.
Turning off your notebook
To turn off your notebook:
1 Click Start, then click Turn Off Computer. The Turn Off Computer dialog
box opens.
2 Click Turn Off. Windows shuts down and turns off your notebook.
Warning Do not work for long periods with the notebook resting on
your lap. If the air vents are blocked, the notebook may
become hot enough to harm your skin.
Caution Provide adequate space around your notebook so air vents
are not obstructed. Do not use the notebook on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
