When and how to turn off the computer
It’s a good idea to turn off your computer when you’re not using it
for a while.
Turning off the computer for a short period of time
If you have work in progress and expect to resume shortly, use the
Windows Suspend/Standby command to save your system
settings so that, when you turn on the computer again, you
automatically return to where you left off.
❖
In Windows 98 Second Edition,
click
Start , Shut Down , select Stand by and click OK .
❖
In Windows NT,
click
Start , then Suspend , or
click Start , Shut Down , select Stand by and click OK .
The computer saves the state of all open programs, turns off the
display, and goes into a low-power suspended state.
The on/off light pulsates amber indicating the machine is in
Standby mode.
NOTE: To turn the computer completely off, press and hold
the power button until the computer stops beeping (4-5
beeps).
You may configure your Tecra 8100 for additional Suspend/
Standby options. For more information, see “Starting where you
left off” on page 93.
