Turning off your LifeBook notebook
without exiting Windows or turning on
your notebook within 10 seconds of the
notebook being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.
POWER OFF
Before turning off the power by choosing Turn Off
Computer from the Windows Start menu, check that the
Hard Drive, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive Access
indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-5 on page 8) If you
turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card
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 notebook to complete its opera-
tions and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid
errors. The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Turn Off
Computer.
2. Select the Turn Off option from within the dialog
box.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see the Care and Maintenance section.
