Basic Operations
• Do not turn off, reset or move the computer while the hard disk
indicator, the optical drive indicator or the indicator on an optional
external floppy disk drive unit is lit. Doing so may damage or even
wipe out the data.
• Before turning it back on, wait at least ten seconds after the computer
is turned off. Turning the power off and on in rapid succession can
damage the computer's electrical circuitry.
