Turning your Computer OFF
Make sure all applications are closed before you turn off your computer. Turning off your computer will ensure that a data is
saved and it will use as little power as possible (there may be a small power drain to charge batteries), however your
computer will take longer to start.
Once the computer has shut down, switch OFF all external devices (such as a printer or monitor) if they have a power button.
Sleep mode
Click on the Sleep button to save your session and put the computer in a low-power state so that you may quickly resume
working (see the
section on page 15 for details).
Note:
You may also put your computer into sleep mode without going to the Windows Start menu. Simply close all your
applications and press the power button.
