If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off the power without exiting
from your software. Data is maintained in the computer's main memory.
When you turn on the power again, you can continue working right where
you left off.
■ Make sure the Disk LED and ODD indicator are off. If you turn off the
power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you can lose data or
damage the disk (disc).
■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so
could cause loss of data.
■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or
remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause
data loss.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless
communication switches or devices, and canceling settings that reactivate
the computer automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to
completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the operating
system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved
data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly
causing serious injury.
■ When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep
Mode according to the settings in Power Options.
■ To restore operation from Sleep Mode, press the power button or
press any key. The latter action works only if Wake-up on Keyboard is
enabled in HW Setup.
■ If the computer automatically enters Sleep Mode while a network
application is active, the application might not be restored when the
computer wakes up from Sleep Mode.
■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,
disable Sleep Mode in Power Options. However, this action will nullify
the computer's Energy Star compliance.
