Using Emergency Shutdown Procedures
If the notebook is unresponsive and you are unable to use normal
Windows shutdown procedures, try the following emergency
procedures:
■
Press
ctrl+alt+delete.
Select Shutdown.
■
Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.
■
If you are unable to shut down the notebook with the power
button, disconnect the notebook from external power and

Emergency shutdown procedures result in the loss of
unsaved data.
Setting Power Management Options
Many of the default power settings, such as timeouts, alarms, and
power button settings, can be changed in the Power Options

when the battery pack reaches a low-power condition, or you can
change the default settings for the power button.
