Low Battery Warning
The Battery Status function (see page 5–12) displays the status
of the battery voltage. If the battery voltage falls below a pre-
determined threshold, the gauge displays a low- battery
warning symbol () in the upper-right corner of the Ready
screen.
By default (Normal setting), the low-battery warning is
displayed when the battery voltage falls below 6.2 V dc. At that
point, the gauge has approximately three hours of battery
operating life left, or less if the backlight is used. If the gauge is
equipped with a GPS unit, the remaining battery operating life is
approximately one hour.
The Low Battery Warning function enables the operator to
select how early or late the low-battery warning is displayed. An
early setting provides more time between when the warning is
displayed and when the gauge shuts down. A later setting
provides less warning time.
To access this function, press 6 at the Extended menu. The
gauge displays:
Use the up and down arrows to scroll between the menu
options. To select the desired low battery warning option, press
the corresponding numeric key. The gauge displays the battery
voltage threshold associated with the selected option, and then
returns to the Extended menu.
