Battery
I am having trouble turning on my Compaq AirLife 100. What should I do?
If you have problems starting AirLife, perform the following checks:
Ensure the battery is fully charged. If the LED next to the power button on your AirLife is blinking
red, it indicates the battery has reached a critically low battery level. For best results, charge the
battery fully. The solid green LED indicates full battery charge.
Ensure the battery is correctly installed. Make sure that the connectors on the battery are
aligned with the housing pins in the battery compartment.
Ensure the battery connectors and housing pins are not damaged or dirty. If the battery
connectors appear to be soiled or the housing pins appear bent or damaged, contact your
dealer to get your unit repaired.
The battery may be completely discharged. Try charging your battery using the AC adapter. For
more information, follow the instructions for setting up your AirLife in the
Setup Essentials Card
that came with your AirLife or in the User Guide on the web.
I have trouble charging my battery. What should I do?
If you have trouble charging your battery, perform the following checks:
Ensure your AirLife is correctly connected to AC power. Inspect the AC power connector port on
the AirLife to ensure that the cable is securely inserted. Similarly, inspect the power connector
on the AC adapter to ensure the cable is securely inserted. Connect the AC adapter to AC power
to ensure it can charge.
Check the LED next to the power button on your AirLife. If the battery is low and the AirLife is
being charged, the LED is solid amber.
