用法How to use 关机
关机 means to power off a device, or (of a device) to shut down / be off, and it is a separable verb-object compound (关 + 机). Use it alone or with 了/过/一下 (已经关机了, 关过机, 关一下机); do not put a device noun directly after it — name the device as a topic or with 把 (手机关机了, 把电脑关机). Note the separate dictionary sense 'to finish shooting a film' is rare and not the everyday HSK meaning.
