Putting the computer to sleep
Sleep is a power conservation feature of Macintosh PowerBook computers, reducing the amount of power the computer draws when it’s not being used. When the PowerBook is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be off. A small green light flashes on the top of the display when your computer is in sleep. (Note: The computer must be on in order for you to put it to sleep.)
To put the computer to sleep, follow these steps:
1Press and hold the Power key for about two seconds.
2In the dialog box that appears, click the Sleep button.
WARNING Once you put your computer to sleep, listen for the hard disk to stop spinning before you transport your Macintosh PowerBook. Transporting your Macintosh PowerBook with the hard disk spinning can damage your computer.
