TimeToEmpty tells you approximately how long you can continue to use the monitor with this
battery. Note that this time fluctuates depending on the system load (the display brightness and how
many measurements you carry out), the age of the battery, and the remaining capacity of the battery.
TimeToFull is shown in place of TimeToEmpty if the monitor is connected to mains power via
a host monitor or the M8023A external power supply, and tells you how much time is left until the
battery is charged to 90%. You can use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger to charge the batteries
externally.
Battery status/malfunction symbols: If a problem is detected with the battery, an INOP may be
issued, and the following symbols are displayed in the Battery Status window, where they may
be accompanied by a battery status message providing more details. Messages appear in the line where
TimeToFull/TimetoEmpty is shown. Symbols indicating critical situations are colored red.
