Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/

To ensure that your notebook shuts down without error,
use the Windows shut down procedure.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The
proper sequence is:

1. Click the [Start] button, and then click [Shut

Down].

small arrow at the bottom right of the menu, then
select Shut Down.)

If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see Care and Maintenance Section.

Turning off your notebook without exiting
Windows, or turning it on within 10
seconds of being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.

Be sure to close all files and exit all applica-
tions 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 disk errors.
