Basic care and tips for using your computer

Turning your computer on and off

To turn on your computer, open the lid and press the power button

above the keyboard.

To turn the power off, you can do any of the following:

• Click on the Start button in Windows, and then select Shut Down

on the popup menu.

• Push the power button.

To use this method, you must first click on the Power

Management icon in Windows Control Panel, and then check

that the power button is set to shut down the computer when

pressed. See Windows Help for more information.

The Just for starters… poster shows you how to set up your

computer.

This User's Guide provides clear and concise information on

using your computer productively. You are advised to read

it thoroughly and keep it handy for future reference.

English

Note: If you are unable to shut down the computer in the usual

way, press and hold the power button for more than four seconds.

You should then wait at least two seconds before turning the

computer on again.

Taking care of your computer

Your computer will serve you well if you take care of it.

• Do not expose the computer to direct sunlight. Do not place it

near sources of heat, such as a radiator.
