Battery Life Indicator
The battery life indicator
icon is a quick way to
determine the remaining
life of the battery installed
in either the WVP or any
individual WVC controllers.
The WVP will
continually show the status of its battery while
the Current Time/Day is displayed. The WVP
can also retrieve the battery life information
from the WVC when programs are retrieved
(see Retrieving Programs). A fully charged
battery will show all three segments of the
battery dark. As the battery is expended, the
segments will appear as outlines.
After retrieving battery life information
from the WVC, the icon will display the
information until the WVP LCD goes blank
due to inactivity. The next time the WVP
display comes on it will provide battery life
information for the WVP.
