Procedure 1 AC IN Icon Check

The AC PS unit converts AC power to DC power and contains a charging circuit which

charges the computer’s batteries. The AC power cord connects to the AC IN socket connec-

tor on the back side of the computer. When the AC power cord is connected to the 100CS,

the AC PS unit charges the batteries.

The AC IN icon displays whether or not the AC power cord is connected and supplying

power.

When the AC IN icon is green, the AC power cord is connected and supplying power to the

computer.

If the AC IN icon does not light, the AC power cord is not supplying power to the computer

or the AC power cord is not attached to the computer. Go to Check 1.

If the AC IN icon is flashing orange, the AC power cord’s voltage supply is abnormal or the

power supply is not functioning properly. Go to Check 1.

If any of the above indicator conditions are abnormal, make sure the icon lights are not burned

out before performing the following checks:

Check 1 Make sure the correct AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC IN socket on

the back of the computer.

Check 2 If the AC IN icon flashes orange when the AC power cord is connected, output

voltage is abnormal. Connect a new AC power cord and turn the computer on

again to verify the indicator condition.

Check 3 The battery pack may be malfunctioning. Replace the battery pack with a new one

and turn the computer on again. If the problem still exists, go to Procedure 2.

2-6 100CS

Procedure 2 Battery Icon Check

The Battery icon shows the battery charging status. The Battery icon glows orange when the

AC power cord is charging the computer’s battery pack.

If the Battery icon glows green, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is fully

charged.

If the Battery icon glows orange, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is being

charged.

If the Battery icon does not glow, go to Check 1.

Check 1 Make sure the AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC IN socket and wall

outlet. If these cables are connected correctly, go to Check 2.
