Starting and Stopping the OmniBook

You can easily start and stop your OmniBook using the blue On/Off key. But at
certain times, you may want to use other methods for starting and stopping your
OmniBook, depending on power considerations, types of active connections, and
startup time.
In this section you'll learn how to:
Start the OmniBook.
Stop the OmniBook in different ways.
Reset and restart the OmniBook.

To start the OmniBook

Press the blue On/Off key. Either your previous session resumes or the
computer reboots, depending on how you stopped the computer. See the next
topic.

To stop the OmniBook

You can stop or "turn off" the OmniBook several ways, including "Instant-On" so you
can quickly continue your work where you left off. That's unlike a desktop PC that
starts from scratch every time you turn it on. Often, the way you stop your OmniBook
depends on how you intend to use it the next time.
To stop with "Instant-On" with ac
power, press the blue On/Off key.
To stop with "Instant-On" on battery
power, press the blue On/Off key.
To shut down without saving your
session, shut down Windows, then
hold CTRL and ALT and press the
On/Off key. (For Windows 95, the
OmniBook automatically turns off
when you shut down Windows.)
Hint
Display Off: Ready to continue immediately and
maintains external connections. (Most
convenient method for Windows 95 and
Windows for Workgroups if ac power is
available.)
Suspend: Ready to resume immediately. You
intend to continue within a week or so. (Most
convenient method for Windows 95 and
Windows for Workgroups if ac power is not
available.)
Off: Starts a new session next time. Reboots at
turn-on. (Standard method for Windows NT and
OS/2.)
