To switch off:

press and hold the Fn key, then press the Esc/On button to turn off the NETBOOK PRO. You can switch off at any time. You do not have to save information stored in the NETBOOK PRO’s internal memory, as it is automati- cally saved for you. If you are working with a file on a memory card, save the file before switching off the NETBOOK PRO and removing the card.

Note: If you do not use the NETBOOK PRO, it will automatically switch off after a few minutes to save battery power. To continue using the NET- BOOK PRO where you left off, switch the NETBOOK PRO on again using the On/Off button. Your information will be saved as long as the backup battery retains charge. See “Power Management” on page 14 for information on checking battery-charge levels and power settings.
