components will slow down, software will still run, but very slowly.

Warning
The energy saving features built into this computer are designed to be used with
the monitor supplied with the system. If you wish to use another, or older
monitor it may not be compatible and permanent damage may be caused.
Check with your Apricot dealer.
To restart the system, just move the mouse or press a keyboard key.
Everything will return to the exact state in which it was left.
You may also press the purple button, just above the power switch.
This button can also be pressed while you are using the system, to
override the BIOS timer and force the system into the 'low power'
mode.
The power management section of the system BIOS gives access to
the control settings of the 'low power' mode, see appendix C, 'System
BIOS and set-up'. You may also disable various features if required.

checklist:

sure to save any files you have altered or created. Information
