 Use the 
Shut Down
 button on the Mercury Control Panel to
turn off your Mercury. Use the 
Stand By 
button to put it into
Stand By mode.
 Use Stand By mode when you leave Mercury for a short
time. Mercury uses very little power in Stand By mode, so
you increase the amount of time you can operate Mercury
on its battery. In Stand By mode, the Mercury screen will go
blank, and the status LED will blink green.
 To wake Mercury, press the Power button or a switch
plugged into the Switch 1-2 jack. The desktop will look as it
did before it went into Stand By mode.
 Use Shut Down when you plan to leave the Mercury for longer periods of time, or you can enable
Hibernate in the Power Setup tab (see p. 41). When Mercury has been shut down, the screen will
be dark, and the status LED will not blink (unless Mercury is charging while AC is connected).
 You can also select 
Turn Off Computer
 from the Windows 
Start 
menu,
then choose 
Stand By
, 
Turn Off
, or 
Restart
.
