3 - 2 Turning on the Computer

Turning on the Computer
To the computer on simply press the power button on the top of the computer.
When the computer is on, you can use the power button as a Sleep/Hibernate hot-
key button when it is pressed for less than 4 seconds (pressing and holding the power
button for longer than this will shut the computer down). Use Power Options
(Hardware and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista to configure this fea-
ture.
Note that if you have included the Hybrid TV Tuner in your purchase option, you
may use the remote control unit to send the computer in to a power saving state.
If the system "hangs", and the Ctrl + Alt + Del key combination doesn't work, press the pow-
er button for 4 seconds, or longer, to force the system to turn itself off.
Sleep is the default power mode when the power button is pressed for less than 4 seconds.
You may configure the options for the power button from the Power Options (Hardware
and Sound menu) control panel in Windows Vista (see your OS's documentation, or
"Configuring the Power Button" on page 3 - 7
Forced Off
Power Button Sleep
for details).
