• Click on the Start button in Windows, and then select Shut Down

on the popup menu.

The Just for starters… poster shows you how to set up your

computer.

This User's Guide provides clear and concise information on

it thoroughly and keep it handy for future reference.

• Push the power button.

To use this method, you must first click on the Power

Management icon in Windows Control Panel, and then check

that the power button is set to shut down the computer when

pressed. See Windows Help for more information.

Note: If you are unable to shut down the computer in the usual

way, press and hold the power button for more than four seconds.

You should then wait at least two seconds before turning the

computer on again.

Taking care of your computer

Your computer will serve you well if you take care of it.

near sources of heat, such as a radiator.
