If you are taking the computer to a client's office or a different building, you may choose to shut down the computer:
Click on Start, then click on Shut Down.
Or:
You can put the computer in Sleep mode by pressing <Fn> + <F4>. Then close and latch the display.
When you are ready to use the computer again, unlatch and open the display; then press and release the power button.
Note: If the Sleep indicator is off, the computer has entered Hibernation mode and is turned off. If the power indicator is off but the Sleep indicator is on, the computer has entered Sleep mode. In both cases, press and release the power button to turn the computer back on. Note that the computer may enter Hibernation mode after being in Sleep mode for a period of time.
What to bring to meetings
If your meeting is relatively short, you probably do not need to bring anything with you other than your computer. If your meeting will be longer, or if your battery is not fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on the battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press <Fn> + <F4> or close the display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer. To resume, open the display (if closed), then press and release the power button.
Taking the computer home
When you are moving from your office to your home or vice versa.
Preparing the computer
After disconnecting the computer from your desktop, follow these steps to prepare the computer for the trip home:
•Check that you have removed all media and compact disks from the drive(s). Failure to remove the media can damage the drive head.
•Pack the computer in a protective case that can prevent the computer from sliding around and cushion it if it should fall.
