16BHT-1170BWB-CE / BHT-1171BWB-CE2.2.2 Battery Power Level IndicatorThe battery power level can be checked at the icon that displays in thetaskbar. The battery power displays in four levels.The battery power level indicator is a guideline to notify the operator tocharge the battery promptly when discharged.: Sufficient battery power remains.: The battery power is partially depleted. Charge promptly.: The battery power is almost fully depleted and should be chargedimmediately.: The battery power is fully depleted. Charge immediately or replacewith a fully charged battery.Note: There are times when the taskbar display differs from the display on the BHTLCD screen.About the Battery Level The battery power level indicator does not accurately reflect the battery residual power and shouldonly be used as a guideline. The battery power level will fluctuate due to BHT operation, and therefore disparities mayoccur between the actual battery voltage and the display indicator. Ensure to charge the battery as soon as possible before the battery power is depleted.2.2.3 Battery Voltage DropIf the battery voltage drops to a level that requires charging or battery replacementwhile using the BHT, the screen on the right displays only once for approximately 2seconds and the beeper sounds three times when a key is pressed or tap the touchscreen. The BHT then returns to its normal operational status. The screen on theright indicates that the battery will soon need charged and should be promptlycharged or replaced. If the BHT is left with the battery discharged, data includingfiles and settings stored in the RAM may be lost.If use of the BHT is continued without charging or replacing the battery after theabove message displays and the battery voltage drops to a level that prevents BHToperation, the screen on the right displays, the beeper sounds five times, and thepower automatically turns OFF. Depending on the battery level, this message maynot display or the beeper may not sound five times. When this message displays,replace or charge the battery immediately. If the BHT is left with the batterydischarged, data including files and settings stored in the RAM may be lost.
