Whenever possible, keep the AC adapter plugged into the Intel-
powered classmate PC and an electrical outlet to recharge the 
battery. 
Never turn off or reset your Intel-
powered classmate PC while the hard disk is in use; doing so 
can result in loss or destruction of your data. Always wait at 
least 5 seconds after turning off your Intel-powered classmate 
PC before turning it back on; turning the power on and off in 
rapid succession can damage the Intel-powered classmate 
PC’s electrical circuitry.

Turn on your Intel-powered classmate PC by pressing the power 
button. Hold the button down for a second or two and release. The 
Power-On Self Test (POST) runs automatically. 
After the POST is completed, the computer reads the operating 
system from the hard disk drive into computer memory (this is 
commonly referred to as “booting” a computer). If your OS 
(Operating System such as Windows Vista…. etc) is installed, it 
should start automatically. 
To turn the Intel-powered classmate PC off, save your work and 
close all open applications, click on Start, then Shut Down and 
select Shut down the computer and click "Yes".
