Powering Off and On the Mesa 3
To preserve battery power, we recommend you power off
the Mesa 3 if it will not be used over a long weekend or
several days.
CAUTION: Be aware that when the Mesa 3 is powered
off, it closes all programs and powers down all system
components. If hibernate is not used, all programs are
closed and unsaved data is lost.
1. Save open les, and close any running programs.
2. Go to the Start menu, select the Power symbol, and
select Shut Down. If the Start menu is not available, press
and hold the power key for 5 seconds and slide the
screen that drops down towards the bottom of the Mesa
3 screen.
3. On battery power, it typically takes about 30 seconds for
the tablet to completely shut down, although it can take
several minutes.
4. To power on the Mesa 3, press the power key.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete Function
Press and hold down the windows key, then press the power
key. A list that includes the Task Manager is shown. Select
Task Manager to see which apps are running. Press More
details at the bottom to view Processes, Performance, and
other items. This can be useful for troubleshooting.
Resetting the Mesa 3
If the Mesa 3 is unresponsive, slow, or programs won’t
launch, performing a reset might solve the issue. You
might be asked to perform a reset when an application is
installed.
CAUTION: Be aware that during a reset, applications are
closed and unsaved data is lost.
To reset your Mesa 3, Go to the Start menu, select the Power
symbol, and select Restart.
