Battery Power Indicators
The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP
messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the
remaining capacity in relation to the battery’s actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the
battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window.
Battery LED
The battery LED on the front panel of the monitor is indicated by a battery symbol.
The battery LED is yellow during charging and switches off when the battery is charged.
Battery Status on the Main Screen
Battery status information can be configured to display permanently on all
Screens. It shows the status of the battery, with the battery power
remaining and, when the battery is not charging, 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 battery is detected, a blank battery gauge
marked with a flashing red X is displayed. If no data is available from the battery, a question mark is
shown in the gauge.
