Apple PowerBook (Duo 270C) - Manual (Page 28)

Turning the PowerBook on and off
Your PowerBook can be in one of three power states: off, sleep, or
on.
Off
When the PowerBook is off, the computer is not using any power
or doing any work. The terms
shut down and off both refer to this
state.
Turn the computer off to
n
insert it into a PowerBook Duo Dock or Duo Dock II
n
connect it to a desktop Macintosh as a SCSI disk
n
conserve power when you won’t be using it for several hours
To turn the PowerBook off
n
If the computer is on, choose the Shut Down command from
the Special menu. (The
Macintosh Basics tour teaches how to
choose a menu command.)
n
If the computer is in sleep, wake it by pressing any key on the
keyboard (except Caps Lock), and then choose Shut Down.
n
If a problem with the computer prevents you from choosing
Shut Down, press the power button on the back panel of the
computer. This turns off the power; it is not a graceful exit,
because you will lose any work you did not save. Use the
power button only in an emergency.
