∙Start the OmniBook.

∙Stop the OmniBook in different ways.

∙Reset and restart the OmniBook.

To start the OmniBook

∙Press the blue On/Suspend button. Either your previous session resumes or the computer reboots, depending on how you stopped the computer. See the next topic.

To stop the OmniBook

You can stop or “turn off” the OmniBook several ways, including “Instant-On” so you can quickly continue your work where you left off. That’s unlike a desktop PC that starts from scratch every time you turn it on. Often, the way you stop your OmniBook depends on how you intend to use it the next time.

∙To stop with “Instant-On” with ac power, press the blue On/Suspend button.

∙To stop with “Instant-On” on battery power, press the blue On/Suspend button.

∙To shut down while saving your current session, press Fn+F12 with the ac adapter unplugged.

∙To shut down without saving your session, shut down Windows, then press the square Off button on the left side of the case for 2 seconds. (For Windows 95, the OmniBook

Display Off: Ready to continue immediately and maintains external connections. (Most convenient method for Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups if ac power is available.)

Suspend: Ready to resume immediately. You intend to continue within 24 hours. (Most convenient method for Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups if ac power is not available.)

Hibernate: Preserves work in progress. Saves maximum battery power. Reboots at turn-on, restores the session.

Off: Starts a new session next time. Saves maximum battery power. Reboots at turn-on. (Standard method for Windows NT and OS/2.)
