Powering Down The Computer - Toshiba M4 User Manual

Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry
cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start
from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward
edge (not in a circle). If necessary, moisten the cloth with
water or a neutral cleaner (not benzene or rubbing
alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in
the drive.

Powering down the computer

When you power down the computer, you have a number of
options to choose from:
Turn Off or Shut down, which powers off the computer
Hibernation, which saves the current operating state to
the hard disk and powers off the computer
Standby, which saves the current operating state to
memory and enters a low power mode
Restart, which restarts the computer
Each option has its advantages.
Sliding the power switch before shutting down the Windows
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make
sure the system indicator panel's disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
