68 Getting Started Powering off the computer automatically" on page 118. There are additional custom settings you can choose. See "Toshiba Utilities" on page 152. Powering off the computer It's a good idea to power off your computer when you are not using it for a while. If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the computer plugged into a power source (even though the computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the computer off, it may take up to six hours to charge the main battery. Guidelines for powering off the computer: ❖ If you have work in progress and aren't connected to a network, use the Hibernate command to save your system settings to the hard disk so that, when you turn on the computer again, you automatically return to where you left off. ❖ To leave the computer off for a longer period, power down the computer. The Windows® XP Professional operating system uses the Shut down command to power down the computer if you are connected to a Windows® network server (domain server) or the Turn Off command if you are not. ❖ When the hard disk drive light on the system indicator panel is on, do not turn off the power. Doing so may damage your hard disk. For more information, see "Powering off the computer" on page 68.
