50 - Starting the Tablet PC
Shutting Down
Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive access indicator is off. If you turn off the power
while accessing a disk there is a risk of data loss. 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:
Windows Vista:
Click the [Start] button, and then move the mouse over the small arrow at the bottom
right of the right-hand pane. Select
Shut Down
from the list.
Windows XP Tablet PC:
Click the [Start] button, click
Turn Off Computer
, and then select the
Turn
off
option.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more, see the Care and Maintenance section.
Suspending System Operation
The Tablet PC allows you to suspend the system operation without closing programs or exiting the
operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system shutdown is not practical or
when the battery needs to be changed.
