1) Check that the HG658c is turned on.

2) Check that electricity comes from the socket and that the power input

from the socket meets the requirements described on the label of the

HG658c's power adapter. If the voltage is unstable, for example, if the

voltage is too high or too low, do not use the HG658c. Wait until the

voltage recovers, and then use the HG658c.

power adapter.

If the

Power

indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance

center.
