Computing tips

❖Save your work frequently.

Your work temporarily stays in the computer’s memory until you save it to the hard disk. You will lose all unsaved work, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge while you are working. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the battery is running low. See “Setting battery alarms” on page 115.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that you can activate. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.
