Recovering from a Loss of Electrical Power

Loss of electrical power will cause your Internet PC to automatically turn off. This
may cause loss of data because the Microsoft Windows operating system is not
able to properly close all files and programs. To protect your data, learn to save
your work frequently.
Loss of power may be caused by one of the following:
Electrical power service is interrupted.
Power cord is accidentally disconnected.

Power Surges and Sags

If power surges or sags, the display and status lights may flicker and the computer
may automatically restart. If an improper shutdown occurs, ScanDisk, a Microsoft
Windows utility program, will automatically run once power is restored to the
computer. ScanDisk will determine if the improper shutdown caused any errors on
the hard disk. These errors may occur if the Microsoft Windows operating system
was not able to properly close all files before the shutdown. If no errors are found,
the restart process will continue. If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the
instructions shown to continue the restart process. Work that was not saved prior to
the lockup may be lost.

Using a Surge Suppressor

Use of a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS),
may help to protect your computer from damage that may be caused by power
surges or sags.

Restarting Your Computer After a Power Failure

If a power failure occurs or you accidentally disconnect the power cord while the
computer is turned on, turn off the computer until you are sure normal service has
been restored. The next time you turn on the computer, ScanDisk may run to check
the hard disk for errors that may have been caused by the improper shutdown.
