Shutting Down the System
Follow these steps to shut down and turn off your system:
Note:
Always use the following procedure unless your system has frozen up and will not allow
normal shutdown. If you need to shut down after your system freezes up, click the recessed
Shut Off button located on the back of the system. Do not use the Shut Off button as your
normal means of powering down the system; when the Shut Off button is used, all active
data is lost.
1. If system operation has been suspended, resume system operation. (See Table 2-1 and "Resuming
System Operation" later in this chapter for details.)
2. Save your work and close all running programs.
3. Choose Shut Down from the Windows Start menu and carry out the Shut Down command. The
system is now in the Off state.
Suspending System Operation
The Stylistic LT P-600 pen tablet allows you to suspend the system operation without closing
programs or exiting the operating system. Use this feature to conserve battery power when a system
shutdown is not practical or when the battery needs to be changed.
To suspend system operation:
1. Press the Suspend/Resume button, or carry out the Standby command from your operating
system or power management program. (If your system is configured to suspend operation using
Save-to-Disk mode, which is explained later in this procedure, a message is displayed while data
is saved to your hard disk.)
C A U T I O N
If you are replacing the battery pack, wait until system is off or system
operation is suspended and the power icon is flashing before you remove
the battery pack. Failure to do so could result in loss of your unsaved
data.
The Power icon either flashes (Suspend-to-RAM) or is not displayed (Save-to-Disk) when system
operation is suspended, depending on how your system is configured. At this point, programs that
were running are stopped, active data is saved, and the system enters one of two different low-power
states, or suspend modes, as explained in the following paragraphs.
2. Observe the Power icon in the Status display to determine which suspend mode your system is
using.
• Power icon is blinking: Suspend-to-RAM mode
In this mode, active data is saved by maintaining power to RAM while most other system
components are powered off. The Battery Gauge icon in the Status display indicates the
battery charge level.
