To Store The Omnibook; Checking The Lcd Status Panel - HP OmniBook 5000 User Manual

Your OmniBook has several features that save battery power when the ac adapter isn't
connected. The most obvious of these is automatic shutdown—when your OmniBook
has been idle for 3 minutes with no ac power, it turns itself off automatically. (Other
power-saving features are described throughout this manual.) To resume operation, just
press the On/Off button.
You Don't Have to Exit OmniBook Applications
A key benefit of your OmniBook is that you don't have to exit applications if you're still
using them—even if you turn off your OmniBook. You can run several and quickly
switch among them.
If, however, an application has trouble starting or seems slow, you may need to close
some documents or even exit some applications to make more memory available. If this
doesn't fix the problem, close all applications and exit Program Manager (and
Windows), then press

To store the OmniBook

If you plan to store the OmniBook for longer than a week, it's a good idea to save the
state of your OmniBook to the hard disk when you turn it off. Then you will be able to
resume working at the same point even if the batteries have been exhausted. To turn the
OmniBook on after a save-to-disk, just press the On/Off button. The OmniBook takes a
few seconds to start up and then returns to the last screen you had displayed.

Checking the LCD Status Panel

The LCD Status Panel, located above the keyboard, contains indicators that show the
current status of the OmniBook.
