Turning off your LifeBook notebook without exiting
Windows or turning on your notebook within 10
seconds of the notebook being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.

POWER OFF

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Windows Start menu, check that the Hard
Drive, CD-ROM, PC Card and the Floppy Disk Drive
Access indicators are all Off. (See Figure 2-5 on page 8) If
you turn off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card
there is a risk of data loss. To assure that your notebook
shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down
procedure.
C A U T I O N
Be sure to close all files, exit all applications, and shut
down your operating system prior to turning off the
power with the power switch. If files are open when
you turn the power off, you will lose any changes that
have not been saved, and may cause disk errors.
Using the correct procedure to shut down from
Windows, allows your notebook to complete its opera-
tions and turn off power in the proper sequence to avoid
errors. The proper sequence is:
1. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
2. Select the Shut Down option from within the
Windows Shut Down dialog box.
3. Click OK.
4. Move the power switch to the off position.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or
more see the Care and Maintenance section.
