SWITCHING THE COMPUTER ON

Fig. 6
Note:
Please note that with the Windows
operating systems you should always
switch off the computer as follows:
Click the Start button
Select Shut Down
Click OK
This avoids problems with the hard
disk and operating system.
The operating system is installed the first time you switch on the
computer. Please follow the operating system's installation instructions
here.
After installation and restarting, the computer is ready to use.
The basic graphics functions allow you to modify the resolution, color
depth, and desktop appearance.
If you want to use the additional graphics functions such as TV Out,
monitor port, multidisplay, etc., then you need to install the advanced
VGA driver from the Utility CD.
You can find more detailed information on this from page 26 onwards in
the installation instructions.

You've completed the preparation.
Now press and hold the on/off button
for one second to switch on the
notebook.
Once the computer is switched on, the
on/off button can perform several
functions depending on the energy
settings.
In the standard settings, pressing it
again will switch off the computer.
Tip:
If you experience a program or system crash,
press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys all at the same
time. If you're lucky this will enable you to end
only the task that has crashed and/or restart
the computer
(warm start). If this does not work, hold down
the on/off button for more than four seconds –
this will switch off the computer. You can now
start up the computer as normal (cold start).
