Caring for your computer

Closing the display panel

When you are finished using the computer, power off and close the display panel to keep dust and dirt out of the computer.

If you close the display panel while the computer is still on, one of these actions will occur:

❖If you have the audible warning set, the computer will beep to notify you that it is still on. (See “Toshiba Hardware Setup” on page 146.)

❖If you have an action feature set, the computer will perform that action (Nothing, Standby, Hibernate). For more information, see “Power Management” on page 143.

Different ways to turn the computer on and off

Instead of turning on your computer by pressing the power button, you can set the computer to turn on automatically at a time you designate. Using this option enables you to transfer files by modem at night, when the rates are cheaper. You can set the computer to turn on and send or receive the files while you are asleep. This option is called Auto Power On.
