How and When to Turn the Computer Off

It's a good idea to turn your computer off when you're not using it
for an extended length of time. There are, however, several things
to keep in mind when you want to turn off the power:
Use the Suspend command instead of Shut Down if you intend
to use the computer shortly after turning it off. The next time
you turn the computer on, you'll return to where you left off. If
you're using battery power, this also saves power. For more
information on suspending the computer, refer to "How to
Start Where You Left Off" on page 76.
Don't turn the power off if the disk-in-use light on the indicator
panel is on. Doing so may damage your hard disk or diskette
drive.
If Resume Mode is turned off, shut down Windows 95 before
you turn the computer off. The computer beeps when the
Windows 95 shut down procedure is complete. Turning the
computer off before you hear the beep may produce unpredict-
able results.
If you close the display panel while the computer is on, it beeps
loudly until you turn the power off. To prevent this alarm from
going off in the future, use MaxTime or TSETUP to set the
Panel Close Alarm option to Disabled. See "MaxTime" on
page 275 or "TSETUP" on page 307 for more information.
To turn the computer off, press and hold the power button until
you hear a beep.
