2.1.4Turning off Your Notebook Computer G-MAX N501

If you are not going to use your notebook computer G-MAX N501 for a while, it is best to turn off the power of your notebook computer G-MAX N501 for longer use. Before turning off the power, you need to close first all application programs and shutdown the operating system.

After turning off your notebook computer G-MAX N501, make it a habit to leave the LCD panel open for a while whenever used for an extended period of time. This allows the inside parts of your notebook computer G-MAX N501 to cool off. Closing the panel will force the heat up against the LCD screen, which may degrade the LCD when done regularly. More importantly, never close the LCD panel for a long period of time when computer is on and power saving features are disabled.
