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.

TIP: Use a straightened
paper clip to shutdown.

Emergency Shutdown

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

.
