Solving Common Problems
Battery Problems
The battery does not charge
To prevent possible damage to the battery, the device does not allow the
battery to charge if the internal temperature of the battery gets too low (<
5
°
C or < 41
°
F) or too high (> 50
°
C or > 122
°
F). If possible, charge the
battery in a location with a moderate temperature of around 20°C (68°F).
If possible, turn off the device while the battery is charging.
If the battery is new or has been stored for a week or more, follow this
procedure:
1. Make sure the device is turned off.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the device and an AC wall outlet, and then
turn on the device by pressing the POWER button.
4. Let the device complete the boot process. Then reinstall the battery.
Allow the system to remain idle for one hour with the AC adapter connected
