When the power is turned on in a low-temperature environment, sometimes the
message “Warming up the system. Please wait...” is displayed (up to 20 minutes) or
the battery indicator alternately blinks green and orange.  This function is designed
to prevent hard disk drive malfunctions that may occur at low temperatures.  Wait
for the computer to start up.
