Turning On Your Unit
When you turn on the unit for the very first time, a wizard for license
agreements and safety instructions is displayed (see the corresponding
section for more information).
Once you have accepted all the license agreements and confirmed the
reading of safety instructions, the main window is displayed.
To turn on the unit:
Press the On/Off button. The unit will beep once.
Turning Off Your Unit
There are several ways to turn off the unit, including the following:

Sleep
: keeps the unit’s status information in memory (RAM). The next
time you turn your unit on, you will quickly return to your work
environment (running applications will still be running).This mode will
take more battery power while the unit is off.

Hibernation
: saves the unit’s status information that was in memory
(RAM) to a special file on the disk. The next time you turn your unit on,
this file will be used to ensure that you return to your work
environment (running applications will still be running). The unit will
take longer to start up than in
Sleep
mode, but it requires less battery
power when the unit is off.

Shutdown
: the unit will perform a complete restart routine the next
time you use it. You should perform a shutdown if you do not intend to
use your unit for a week or more.
After a shutdown, the unit will start in Toolbox or in the application you
defined as the startup application.
Note: Should the unit ever stop responding, you can force a hardware reset by
pressing and holding down the power button for more than 10 seconds.
