Turn Off or Shut Down
Factors to consider when choosing either Turn Off or Shut
Down:
❖ Use the Turn Off command if you are using Windows
®
XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 and are not connected to a
domain server.
❖ Use the Shut Down command if you are using Windows
®
XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 and are connected to a
domain server.
❖ If you have work in progress and are not connected to a
network, use the Windows
®
Standby or Hibernate
commands to save your system settings so that, when you
turn on the computer again, you will automatically return
to where you left off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to shut
down or turn off your computer, save your files and make sure
the disk activity lights are off.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working after
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.
Hibernation mode
Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it
first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk.
Since Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain
the saved information, system settings are retained
indefinitely.
Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:
❖ While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no main
battery power.
❖ Because the state of the system is stored on the hard disk,
no data is lost if the main battery discharges.
