• Make sure the ac adapter is plugged into the power source.
• If you’re using a power strip, remove the ac adapter from the power strip and plug it
directly into a wall outlet.
• Check that the light on the ac adapter is on.
• Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place.
• Turn off the OmniBook, then remove the battery and check that the battery contacts
are clean.
• Check 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 OmniBook stops responding
• Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and end an application that is not responding.
• Press the blue power button to suspend the OmniBook. Then press the blue button
again to turn the OmniBook back on.

left side of the OmniBook. Then press the blue power button to turn on the
OmniBook.

connection is actively in use.
• If the OmniBook is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to
finish.
• For Windows 95, 98, or NT, if a CD-ROM drive is present, make sure auto insert
notification is disabled. This is the default factory setting. (This is not required for
Windows 2000.)
