Battery Status on the Main Screen
Battery status information is permanently displayed on all screens. It shows the status of the battery,
with the battery power remaining, with an estimate of the monitoring time this represents.
Battery power gauge: This shows the remaining battery power. It is divided into sections, each
representing 20% of the total power. If three sections are filled, as in this example, this indicates that
60% battery power remains. If no data is available from the battery, a question mark is shown in the
gauge.
Monitoring Time Available: Below the battery power gauge a time is displayed. This is the estimated
monitoring time available with the current battery power. Note that this time fluctuates depending on
the system load (the display brightness, the recorder configuration, and how many measurements you
carry out).
Battery malfunction symbols: Normal battery function is indicated by the battery power gauge,
together with the remaining operating time, on the Main Screen. You are informed of problems or
changes in the status of the battery by the battery status/malfunction indicator. This consists of a blank
battery gauge containing a "!" symbol. If the symbol is red, this indicates a critical situation. You can
check the specific cause of the problem by looking at the symbol(s) displayed in the
Battery Status
window.
