- If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately. Wait a few minutes.
- Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to make sure the terminals are clean. If necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth dipped in alcohol.

- If the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life. Replace it.
- If you do not think the battery is at the end of its operating life, see your dealer.
