What to Do When You Have Finished Using Your iMac G5

When you have finished working with your iMac G5, you have two options.

If you will be away from your iMac G5 for less than a few days, put the computer to sleep. When the computer is in sleep, its screen is dark and a small white light below the lower-right corner of the display pulsates. You can quickly wake the computer and bypass the startup process.

To put the computer to sleep quickly, do one of the following:

•Choose Apple (K) > Sleep.

•Press the power button on the back of the computer.

•Choose Apple (K) > System Preferences, click Energy Saver, and set a sleep timer.

To wake the computer, press any key on the keyboard. When the computer wakes from sleep, your applications, documents, and computer settings are exactly as you left them.
