❍Solid orange, which indicates that the battery charge is critically low

NOTICE: To avoid data loss, never turn off the computer while the green light

Air Intake

HINT: The computer turns on the fans only when the computer gets hot. They

may run most of the time or very seldom, depending on your use of the

computer. Because the fans spin at a high rate of speed, they may make a

noise. This noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fans or the

computer.

The fans work with the air intakes to prevent the computer from overheating. When

the computer gets hot, the small internal fans turn on and draw air through the air

intakes to cool the computer. Hot air is expelled through the fan exhausts.

CAUTION: Do not push objects into or block the air intakes. Doing so

can cause fire or damage the interior components. Keep the openings

free from dust and other foreign particles.
