- Power Management
Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn off
power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The proper sequence is:
From the Modern Start screen, open Charms ([WC) or mouse over [-] in the bottom right corner of the
screen), then click [Settings]->[Power]. Select Shut down from the list.
If you are going to store your notebook for a month or more see the Care and Maintenance Section.
System Reset
Ordinarily, you power down your system by clicking on the small arrow at the bottom right of the Windows Start menu
then clicking Shut Down. You can also use the Power/Suspend/Resume button to power down the system by holding it
down for approximately five seconds. This can be useful if the system is “hung up”, but it shouldn’t be used as the normal
means of shutdown, however.
If you cannot power down your systems by either of these methods, you can use the RESET button on the bottom of your
Ultrabook (See Figure 6 for location). This method should only be used as a last resort when traditional methods do not
work. To shut down your system with the RESET button,
first disconnect any AC adapter
that may be connected. Insert
a small tool such as the tip of a paper clip into the opening and press the button for a couple of seconds. If you power
down your system with the RESET button, be sure to
plug in an AC adapter before turning it back on
