- Troubleshooting
Your system doesn’t recognize a
USB device you installed, or the
device doesn’t work properly.
(continued)
The device may have been installed
as an application was running, so
your system is not aware of its instal-
lation.
Close the application and restart your Tablet PC.
Power Failures
You turn on your Tablet PC and
nothing seems to happen.
The installed battery is completely
discharged or there is no power
adapter installed.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and condition
of the battery. See “Status Indicator Panel” on page 19. Install a charged
battery or a Power adapter.
The battery is installed but is faulty
or very low.
When the battery reaches a critically low level, the system is forced into
Sleep mode to avoid a total system power failure. To correct this problem,
either connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter), or
install a charged battery in the Tablet PC.
System is at a critical thermal limit.
To avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the system enters sleep
mode when it gets too hot. System operation cannot be resumed until the
Tablet PC cools off to a tolerable temperature. Move the Tablet PC to a
cooler location.
AC power adapter is not plugged in
properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See “Power Sources” on
page 35.
The power adapter has no power
from the AC or airline outlet.
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, or check for a line switch or tripped
circuit breaker. If you are using an auto/airline adapter in a car be sure the
ignition switch is in the On or Accessories position.
The power adapter is faulty.
Try a different power adapter.
Your STYLISTIC Tablet PC turns off
all by itself.
The power management parameters
are set for auto timeouts which are
too short for your operating needs.
Move the mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push Power/Sus-
pend/Resume switch. Check your power management settings, or close
your applications and go to Power Options located in the Control Panel to
adjust timeouts to better suit your needs.
Your power adapter has failed or lost
its power source.
Make sure the adapter is plugged in and the outlet has power.
