The new battery pack may be low. Plug in the ac adapter.
•
If nothing happens, Off button, then press the blue On/Suspend button.
If the battery pack doesn’t charge or stops charging
•
Check that the battery is fully installed and locked in place.

Turn off the OmniBook, then check that the battery contacts are clean and 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.

Battery power is probably extremely low. Plug in the ac adapter, or turn off the
OmniBook and insert a fresh battery .
