Message Reason Solution
ERROR The battery is asleep,
faulty, or unrecognized.
The current status of the battery’s health is in question. The Battery
Status information window will provide more specific information
about the health of the battery. See, “How to identify battery charge
capacity” on page 2-36.
If the battery is asleep and you need to “wake up” the battery, see
“How to wake up the battery” on page 5-12.
If the battery will not “wake up” it is probably faulty and should be
replaced.
Check the battery status screen in the Service Menu.
