Using Emergency Shutdown Procedures
Ä
CAUTION:
Emergency shutdown procedures result in the loss of
unsaved data.
If the notebook is unresponsive and you are unable to use normal
Windows shutdown procedures, try the following emergency
procedures in the sequence provided:
■
Press
ctrl+alt+delete.
Select
Shut Down.
■
Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.
■
Disconnect the notebook from external power and remove
the battery pack. For more information about removing and
storing the battery pack, refer to the
“Storing a Battery Pack”
section in this chapter.
Power Preferences
Many default power settings can be changed in the Power
Options window. For example, you can set an audio alert to warn
you when the battery pack reaches a low-power condition, or you
can change the default settings for the power button.
By default, when the notebook is on:
■
Pressing the
fn+f3
hotkey, called the “sleep button” in the
operating system, initiates standby.
■
The display switch turns off the display and puts the
notebook in standby. The display switch is activated by
closing the display. (By default and when using custom
settings, the display switch setting is standby mode.)
