The Grand Tour Power Battery Hard Disk Drive Optical Disc Drive Bridge media slot Wireless communication The Power indicator normally glows blue when the computer is turned on. However, if you turn the computer off into Sleep Mode, this indicator will flash orange - approximately one second on, two seconds off - both while the system is shutting down and while it remains turned off. The Battery indicator shows the condition of the battery's charge - blue indicates the battery is fully charged, orange indicates the battery is charging, and flashing orange indicates a low battery condition. Please refer to Chapter 6, Power for more information on this feature. The Hard Disk Drive indicator glows blue whenever the computer is accessing the built-in hard disk drive. The Optical Disc Drive indicator glows blue when the computer is accessing a disc in the optical disc drive. The Bridge media slot indicator glows blue when the computer is accessing the Bridge media slot. The Wireless communication indicator glows orange when the Bluetooth and wireless LAN functions are turned on. All models are provided with a Wireless Communication switch although only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. User's Manual 2-13
