powered off

Shut down completely

Powered off describes an electronic device that has been shut down or switched off, with no electrical current flowing to it.

The phrase emphasizes the completed state rather than the action: Is the computer powered off?

Make sure everything is powered off before you leave.

Distinct from standby or sleep modes, which maintain some power.
