To reduce power consumption, the computer has three power management modes: screen blank, sleep (standby in Windows XP), and hibernation.

vIf the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the battery power is low.

Note: Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge indicator notifies you when the battery is low, and then the computer enters the power-saving mode automatically.
