APRICOT 340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK 2/7
Turning the power off
Before turning off the computer, run through the following
checklist:
♦
Quit or exit from the applications you are running; be sure to
save any files you have altered. Any unsaved information still
held in the computer’s memory will be lost when you turn off
the computer.
♦
If you are logged-in to a network, logout before turning off
the computer. This gives the network operating system a
chance to free up the network resources you’ve been using.
♦
Close down or quit any software that employs virtual memory
or disk-caching (Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups
do this automatically).
♦
Always turn off any attached peripherals first. However, there’s
no need to turn off the monitor if it’s being powered from the
system unit.
♦
Wait until all the activity indicators on the front bezel are unlit.
To turn off the computer, simply press the P
OWER
button again. The
power indicator on the button goes out. If the monitor is powered
from the system unit, it will be turned off at the same time.
After you turn the computer off, wait at least 5 seconds before
turning it on again. The computer may not initialize itself properly if
you turn it off then on again in quick succession.
