Shutting Down Your MacBook

If you aren’t going to use your MacBook for a day or two, it’s best to shut it down. The

sleep indicator light goes on briefly during the shutdown process.

To shut down your computer, do one of the following:
 Choose Apple () > Shut Down from the menu bar.

 Press the power (®) button and click Shut Down in the dialog that appears.

If you plan to store your MacBook for an extended period of time, see “Storing Your

MacBook” on page 107 for information about how to prevent your battery from

draining completely.

Calibrating Your Battery

To get the longest running time from your battery, calibrate it sometime during the

first week you have your MacBook and recalibrate occasionally to keep your battery

functioning at its fullest capacity.
