Caring for your computer

If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the
computer plugged into a power source (even though the
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the
computer off, it may take up to several hours to recharge the
main battery.
Guidelines for turning off the computer:
❖
If you have work in progress and are not connected to a
network, you can use the operating system Stand by
command to save your system settings to memory so that,
when you turn on the computer again, you automatically
return to where you left off.
❖
To leave the computer off for a longer period, you can use
the Turn Off command (Windows
system) or the Shut down command (Windows
Professional operating system) instead.
❖
Never turn off the power while a drive-in-use light on the
system indicator panel is on. Doing so may damage your
media or drive.
