4.2 Shutting Down the System
There are several possibilities to shut down the ProntoXway. All depend
on whether the operating system is already loaded or not. Please act ac-
cordingly.
To shut down the system perform the following according to the state
of the system’s operating system:
With the operating system fully loaded
If the operating system is up and running, there are two ways to shut
down your system:
1. Turn the system off by shutting down the operating system the
usual way.
The operating system will then save your personal settings and once it
has ended, the system will turn off.
2. Alternatively, you can initiate a fast shut down by pressing the
power switch briefly.
Some settings will be saved and afterwards the system turns off.
With the operating system not completely loaded
If the operating system is not completely loaded, perform the follow-
ing:
y
Shut down the system by pressing the power switch until the sys-
tem turns off.
The system will then shut down immediately.
After a shut-down wait at least ten seconds before starting the
system again. This time is needed to safely erase all memory
banks of the system.
The fast shut down may not save all your system data and
personal settings before the system turns off. Occasionally,
this may lead to a loss of system data.
Shutting down the system while the operating system is load-
ing may lead to corrupted system data. Use this procedure
only if absolutely necessary.
