Putting the computer to sleep

Sleep is a power conservation feature of Macintosh PowerBook computers,
reducing the amount of power the computer draws when it’s not being used.
When the computer is in sleep, it has a darkened screen and appears to be off.

is in sleep. (Note: The computer must be on in order for you to put it to sleep.)

To put the computer to sleep, do this:

1

Press and hold the Power key for about two seconds.

A dialog box appears.

2

Click the Sleep button.

Other ways of putting your computer to sleep

m You can choose the Sleep command from the Special menu to put your

computer to sleep.

WARNING

Once you put your computer to sleep, listen for the hard disk

to stop spinning before you move your Macintosh PowerBook. Moving
your Macintosh PowerBook with the hard disk spinning can damage
your computer.
