tery is indicating a short, remove that battery and operate from
another power source or replace that battery.
The installed primary
battery is completely
discharged, there is no
optional second battery
installed or there is no
Power adapter installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 22. Install a charged battery or a Power adapter.
The battery or batteries
are low.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries.
See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 22. Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery is

The power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) is not
plugged in properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly.
The Power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) is faulty.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged optional second
