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 create a power plan, turn on password protection, or determine what the power button does. Restarting the System If your system is on and you need to restart it, be sure that you use the following procedure. 1 Click the [Start] button, and then click the small arrow to the right of the [Shut down] button. 2 Select the Restart option. Your notebook will shut down and then reboot. 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 THE NEXT TIME YOU START. Powering Off Before turning off the power, check that the hard drive/optical 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. BE SURE TO CLOSE ALL FILES, EXIT ALL 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 DISK ERRORS. Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your mini-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 2 Click the [Shut down] button. If you are going to store your mini-notebook for a month or more, see Care and Maintenance Section. 49 - Power Management
