When the power is turned on, sometimes the message “Warming up the system” is
displayed or the battery indicator alternately blinks green and orange, and start-up
takes longer than usual (a few minutes or more). This function is designed to prevent
hard disk drive malfunctions that may occur at low temperatures. Please wait for the
computer to start up.
