Apple 500 Series manual Turning the computer off

Turning the computer off

To turn the computer off, you choose Shut Down from the Special menu.

Detailed instructions follow.

1If the computer is in sleep, press any key on the keyboard (except Caps Lock) to wake it.

For information on the sleep feature of your PowerBook, see “Putting the Computer to Sleep” on the next page.

2Move the tip of the arrow to the word “Special” at the top center of the screen.

If the word “Special” does not appear at the top of the screen, you’re working in the wrong program. Click anywhere on the desktop.

3With the tip of the arrow on the word Special, press and hold down the trackpad button.

4While holding down the trackpad button, move the arrow until the words “Shut Down” are highlighted, then release the button.

Trouble? If a problem with the computer prevents you from choosing Shut Down—for example, if the computer “freezes” so that the pointer does not respond to the trackpad—you can turn off the computer by holding down the Control, Option, Command (x), and Power On (P) keys at the same time. You will lose any unsaved work. Use this method only if you cannot choose Shut Down or Restart from the Special menu.
