When and how to turn off the computer

It's a good idea to turn off your computer when you're not using it
for a while.
Turning off the computer for a short period of time
If you have work in progress and expect to resume shortly, use the
Windows Suspend/Standby command to save your system
settings so that, when you turn on the computer again, you
automatically return to where you left off.
❖
In Windows 98 Second Edition,
click Start, Shut Down, select Stand by and click OK.
❖
In Windows NT,
click Start, then Suspend, or
click Start, Shut Down, select Stand by and click OK.
The computer saves the state of all open programs, turns off the
display, and goes into a low-power suspended state.
The on/off light pulsates amber indicating the machine is in
Standby mode.
NOTE: To turn the computer completely off, press and hold
the power button until the computer stops beeping (4-5
beeps).
You may configure your Tecra 8100 for additional Suspend/
Standby options. For more information, see "Starting where you
left off" on page 93.
