reset settings” on page 67 and “If Something Goes 
Wrong” on page 92).

Turning off the device
Turning off the device
It is a good idea to turn off your device when you are not 
using it for a while.
If you are using the device for the first time, leave the device 
plugged into a power source (even though the device is off) 
to fully charge the battery.
Options for turning off the device
You have two options available for turning off the device: 
Shut down and Sleep mode. Each option has its 
advantages.
❖Use Shut down if you will not be using the device for 
several days or if you must turn off your device.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the Shut down option 
to turn off your device, backup your data.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working 
after all, wait a few seconds before turning the device on 
again.
If you do not intend to use your device for a long period 
of time, turn off the device, disconnect the power plug 
from the plug socket, and store your device in a dry 
dust-free location.
❖Letting the screen time-out or enter into Sleep mode 
allows the device to conserve power. When turning on 
the device again, the system automatically returns to the 
last screen viewed. 
To change the screen time-out setting, see “Display 
settings” on page 61.
Using Shut down mode
The Shut down mode completely shuts down the device 
without saving your data or the current state of the device. 
Shut down mode closes all open apps, shuts down the 
operating system, and then turns off your tablet.
Always back up your data and settings before shutting 
down your tablet.
NOTE 
						

							47Getting Started
Turning off the device
To turn off your device using Shut down mode: 
1Press and hold the 
Power button. 
A pop-up screen appears, displaying three selections.
 
(Sample Image) Shut down pop-up screen
2In the pop-up window, touch Power off.
A pop-up screen appears, asking you to confirm the 
shut down.
 
(Sample Image) Shut down pop-up confirmation screen
3In the pop-up window, touch OK to completely shut 
down the tablet.
The operating system shuts down and the tablet turns 
off.
4Touch 
Cancel to abort the shut down process.
Using Sleep mode
Your device will automatically time-out after a couple 
minutes of non-operation, placing it into Sleep mode. 
The screen dims and then darkens to conserve battery 
power. For more information on waking the tablet from Sleep 
mode, see “Waking the tablet” on page 31. To change the 
amount of time it takes for the display to darken, touch the 
Settings ( ) icon, and then the Display () icon.
Increase battery life between charges by using the 
shortest available time-out setting. See “Display settings” 
on page 61.

Managing your accounts
You can also place your tablet into Sleep mode by pressing 
the Power button quickly.
Factors to consider when choosing Sleep mode:
❖While in Sleep mode, the device uses some battery 
power.
❖Because the state of the system is stored in memory, 
you will lose data if the battery discharges completely 
while the device is in Sleep mode.
❖Waking your device from Sleep mode takes less time 
and consumes less battery power than restarting after 
shutting down the device.
❖When starting up again, the device returns to the screen 
last viewed.
If you place the device in Sleep mode and the battery 
discharges fully, your unsaved data will be lost. Be sure 
to backup your data first.
