If you are using AC power, check the outlet power and verify
that the device is properly plugged in. Make sure the AC
power cord is connected correctly to the power supply and
the power supply cord is securely connected to the device's
power inlet. If the problem continues to occur, contact
your home care provider. Return both the device and
power supply to your provider, so they can determine if the
problem is with the device or power supply.
If you are using DC power, make sure your DC power cord
and battery adaptor cable connections are secure. Check
your battery. It may need recharged or replaced. If the
problem persists, check the DC cord's fuse following the
instructions supplied with your DC cord. The fuse may need

for assistance.
