In case the operating system hangs (stops, freezes, crashes), try the following in this order: 1. Try a "warm boot" by pressing [Ctrl][Alt][Del] keys simultaneously. (You may try a few times if there is no response.) 2. If warm booting fails to work, see below for emergency shutdown procedure.

For operating systems without proper power management (DOS, Windows NT), you must power OFF the Notebook PC by holding the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed to 1 second to power ON) after closing applications and exiting operating systems.
