Using Your LIFEBOOK
Windows Power Management
The Power Options icon located in the
Windows Control Panel allows you to configure
some of the power management settings. For
example, you can use the Power Options to
set the timeout values for turning off the display
and storage drive whether you are running
the notebook on battery power or one of the
adapters.

be sure that you use the following procedure.
Windows 10
1. Click the Windows icon
2. Click the Power, and select Restarting
from the list.
Turning off your notebook without exiting
Windows or turning on your notebook
within 10 seconds of the notebook being
shut off may cause an error when you
start the next time.
Power Off
Before turning off power, check that the storage
drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the
power while accessing storage drive there is a
risk of data loss. To ensure that your notebook
shuts down without error, use the Windows
shut down procedure.

applications, and shut down your operating
system prior to turning off the power. If
files are open when you turn the power off,
you will lose any changes that have not
been saved, and may cause storage drive
errors.

its operations and turn off power in the
