Normal shutdown procedure
The computer will perform any 'tidying-up'
operations necessary, such as quitting any
applications you've been using.
A window will appear when this has happened,
telling you that the computer is ready to be
switched off.
3 Switch off the computer and peripherals
Remove any floppy discs from the disc drive.
Switch off the computer at the ON/OFF switch on
the front.
Switch the monitor off (unless it was plugged into
the power outlet on the back of the computer and
switched off with the computer). If you have any
other peripherals connected to your computer,
check in the manuals supplied with them to see
whether you need to switch them off every time
you switch off the computer.
Note: When the window appears telling you
shutdown has completed, you can restart the
computer instead of switching off.
Click on Restart to do this, or hold down Ctrl
and press Reset.
Hint: Some applications do not give up all of the
computer's memory they've used when you quit
them. This is a good way of 'reclaiming' that
memory.
