To resolve CD-ROM drive problems

Excessive static electricity discharges may cause the CD-ROM drive to stop working.
If the CD-ROM drive stops responding
Remove and insert the CD-ROM drive again.
If nothing happens, press the Off button for two seconds, then press the blue
On/Suspend button to restart the OmniBook.

To resolve battery problems

If the OmniBook doesn't turn on with a fresh battery
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.
If the battery runs down too fast
If the operating time has gotten shorter and the battery pack is more than a year
or two old, you may need a new battery.
If the OmniBook turns off immediately after it turns on
Battery power is probably extremely low. Plug in the ac adapter, or turn off the
OmniBook and insert a fresh battery .
