Battery problems
If the OmniBook doesn’t turn on with a fresh battery
•
The new battery pack may be low. Plug in the ac adapter.
•
If nothing happens, press the blue power button for four seconds, then wait 10
seconds and press the power button again.
If the battery pack doesn’t charge or stops charging
•
Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place with the safety latch.
•
Shut down the OmniBook and remove the battery, then check that the battery
contacts are clean. Make sure that the ac adapter cables are fully plugged in.
•
Move the OmniBook away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the ac adapter
and allow the battery to cool down. An elevated battery temperature prevents
charging.
If the battery runs down too fast
•
If the operating time has gotten shorter and the battery pack is more than a year
or two old, you may need a new battery.
