Power Using Emergency Shutdown Procedures Ä CAUTION: Emergency shutdown procedures result in the loss of unsaved data. If the notebook is unresponsive and you are unable to use normal Microsoft® Windows® shutdown procedures, try the following emergency procedures in the sequence provided: ■ Press ctrl+alt+delete. Select Shut Down. ■ Press and hold the power/standby button for at least 5 seconds. ■ Disconnect the notebook from external power and remove the battery pack. For more information about removing and storing the battery pack, refer to the "Storing a Battery Pack" section, later in this chapter. Power Options Many default power settings can be changed in the Power Options window. For example, you can set an audio alert to warn you when the battery pack reaches a low-power condition, or you can change the default settings for the power/standby button. By default, when the notebook is on: ■ Pressing the fn+f3 hotkey initiates standby. ■ The display switch initiates standby. The display switch is activated by closing the display.
