Turning off the device
Turning off the device
It is a good idea to turn off your device when you are not
using it for a while.
If you are using the device for the first time, leave the device
plugged into a power source (even though the device is off)
to fully charge the battery.
Options for turning off the device
You have two options available for turning off the device:
Shut down and Sleep mode. Each option has its
advantages.
❖
Use Shut down if you will not be using the device for
several days or if you must turn off your device.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the Shut down option
to turn off your device, backup your data.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working
after all, wait a few seconds before turning the device on
again.
If you do not intend to use your device for a long period
of time, turn off the device, disconnect the power plug
from the plug socket, and store your device in a dry
dust-free location.
❖
Letting the screen time-out or enter into Sleep mode
allows the device to conserve power. When turning on
the device again, the system automatically returns to the
last screen viewed.
To change the screen time-out setting, see
Using Shut down mode
The Shut down mode completely shuts down the device
without saving your data or the current state of the device.
Shut down mode closes all open apps, shuts down the
operating system, and then turns off your tablet.
Always back up your data and settings before shutting
down your tablet.
