SHUTTING DOWN:

The Presario 1232 Notebook Computer is equipped with two primary Power
Management features: Sleep and Hibernation.  The Sleep feature allows you
to reduce the amount of power consumed by the computer while it is not in
use and to wake up the computer immediately when you are ready to use it
again.  The Hibernation feature makes a "bookmark" in your work by saving
all of your open documents and Windows DeskTop configurations, then
completely shuts down the computer.  Hibernation, therefore, saves more
power than Sleep, however, it takes slightly longer to wake up the computer
from Hibernation that it does from Sleep.

These features are meant for power management, but SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPUTER!

To prevent losing information or damaging your files, alwatys end the 
Windows session before you turn off the computer.  To end the Windows
Session:

1.	Be sure to save any work you wish to keep.  

2.	Exit the program you are using.

3.	Continue saving files and / or exiting programs until only the 
	Windows DeskTop is active.  To make sure you've close all windows on
	the Windows DeskTop, look on the Taskbar at the bottom of your screen
	to see if any buttons remain.

4.	From the Windows DeskTop, click on START then SHUT DOWN.

5.	Insure that SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER? is selected, then click YES.

6.	After a few seconds, a message appears telling you that your computer
	is shutting down, then the computer automatically shuts off.

IMPORTANT: Loss of data may result if you do not save your work and close any
open programs incluiding Windows, before turning off your computer or putting
it to sleep.

NOTE: Some games may experience audio or video problems if interrupted by
Sleep or Hibernation.

SLEEP

When your computer is in sleep mode, the Power Management feature reduces
the amount of power consumed by the computer.  There are two ways for your
computer to Sleep:

AUTOMATIC - Your computer automatically enters Sleep after a set period of
  inactivity.  You can change the Sleep timeout period in the Computer
  Setup utility.

MANUAL - You can also manuually put the computer to Sleep by pressing the
  Sleep key combination (FN + F4).

When you are ready to use the computer again, press any key on the
keyboard.

HIBERNATION

When your computer enters Hibernation, the system automatically saves your
files and Windows DeskTop configuration before shutting down and powering
off.  After charging the battery or connecting the AC adapter to the
computer, if necessary, you can wake up the computer by pressing the power
button.  When the computer wakes up, everything appears as you left it, and
the computer recalls your files and desktop configuration as they were
before the computer began to Hibernate.  There are two ways for your
computer to enter Hibernation:

AUTOMATIC - If Hibernation is enabled in the Computer Setup utility, your
  computer automatically enters Hibernation when the battery has little
  power left or when it is in Sleep mode and the battery reaches the Low
  Battery charge state.

MANUAL - You can also manually initiate Hibernation by pressing the
  power button.

When you are ready to use the computer again, press the power button.  The
computer starts up and recalls your files and Windows DesKTop configuration
exactly as they were when the computer entered hibernation.

EMERGENCY POWER OFF:

In situations where normal power down procedures do not allow you to
restart, you can power off by pressing and holding the power button for
FOUR SECONDS.
