LED Light

Socket diagram with two colors
Socket diagram with three colors

The outlet at your seat will have LED lights either below or beside the socket to indicate if power is available.

At some seats, the socket will have two colors—green indicates power is available, while red either means temporarily unavailable or completely unavailable. If the socket at your seat has three colors, green means power is available, orange means temporarily unavailable and red means completely unavailable.

If a red or orange light is on, please do the following:

  • Take the plug out, check to make sure the LED light turns green and plug in the AC adapter again.

Possibilities for lack of power include the following:

  • The equipment connected to the socket consumes more than 75W.
  • The power limit has been exceeded.
  • The AC adapter is not plugged in firmly.

If you see a red or orange light, please know that these are not system failures.
