You turn on your LifeBook
Tablet PC and nothing
seems to happen.
(continued)
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is not plugged in
properly.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See “Power
Sources” on page 68.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) has no power
from the AC outlet, airplane
jack, or car cigarette lighter.
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for a line switch
or tripped circuit breaker for the AC outlet. If you are using an
auto/airline adapter in a car make sure the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessories position.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is faulty. Try a different power adapter.
Your LifeBook Tablet PC
turns off all by itself. The power management
parameters are set for auto
timeouts which are too short
for your operating needs.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move the mouse to
restore operation. If that fails, push the Power/Sus-
pend/Resume switch. Check your power management set-
tings, or close your applications and go to the Power Options
located in the Control Panel to adjust the timeout values to
better suit your needs.
You ignored a low battery
alarm until the battery entered
Dead Battery Suspend mode.
Install a power adapter, then push the Power/Sus-
pend/Resume switch. See “Power Sources” on page 68.
You have a battery failure. Verify the condition of the battery using the Status Indicator
panel. If the battery is shorted, replace or remove it. See
“Status Indicator Panel” on page 30.
Your power adapter has failed
or lost its power source. Make sure the adapter is plugged in and the outlet has
power.
Your Tablet PC will not
work on battery alone. The installed battery is dead. Replace the battery with a charged one or install a power
adapter.
No battery is installed. Install a charged battery.
The battery is improperly
installed. Verify that the battery is properly connected by re-installing it.
