POWER OFF

Before turning off the power by choosing Shut Down
from the Windows 98 Second Edition or Me Start menu,
check that the Hard Drive, media player drive, PC Card
and Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all Off. (See
figure 2-8 on page 14) If you turn off the power while
accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
assure that your LifeBook notebook shuts down without
error, use the Windows shut down procedure.
C A U T I O N
Never turn your LifeBook notebook off while an appli-
cation is running. Be sure to close all files, exit all appli-
cations, 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 LifeBook notebook to complete its operations
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 to shutdown your LifeBook notebook.
If you are going to store your LifeBook notebook for a
month or more see Care and Maintenance Section.
