3 Getting Started

Powering OFF the Notebook PC

In Windows XP, the Notebook PC can be powered OFF by using Start Shut Down... Turn off (or Shut down). For operating systems without proper power management (DOS, Windows NT), you must power OFF the Notebook PC by holding the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed to 1 second to power ON) after closing applications and exiting operating systems. Holding the power switch for 2 seconds is necessary in order to prevent accidental power-OFFs.

The screens are different depending on your security settings.

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there are two additional ways to shutdown your Notebook PC:

(1) Hold the power button

over 4 seconds, or

(2) Press the shutdown button

with a
