Getting Started

Turning off your computer where electronic devices are regulated or controlled.

When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the computer completely or put the computer into hibernation mode instead of allowing it to go into Standby Mode (Sleep Mode) and turn off any wireless communication switches or devices. While in Standby Mode (Sleep Mode), the computer operating system may reactivate itself to run preprogrammed tasks or to preserve unsaved data, and might interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.

The Sleep Mode feature provides the following benefits:

■Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the Hibernation Mode feature.
