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.
CD/DVD

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
straightened paperclip.
