Using The Power Control Panel - Dolphin 7400 User Manual

"CriticalBatt"=dword:a
This sets the Critical Battery point to 10 percent (a hex = 10 decimal). The critical
battery is the point at which the customer is warned that the battery charge is very
low. This warning will be posted every 3 minutes until the situation is corrected.
"LowBatt"=dword:19
This sets the Low battery point to 25 percent (19 hex = 25 decimal). The low
battery setting is the point at which the user is alerted that the battery is low. The
user is notified only once for a low battery.
These are the default values. Developers can set these parameters from 0 (no
warning at all) to 99 (would nearly always warn). The warnings do not appear
when the terminal is on external power.

Using the Power Control Panel

The Power control panel displays information about current battery status and
allows you to set options that can conserve battery power.
There is also a battery usage indicator displayed. This indicator represents the
total cumulative time that the current main battery pack has been in use. If the
main battery is replaced with a new battery pack, the indicator will reset to 0:00.
Each battery is uniquely identified with a serial number that the Dolphin terminal
uses to track cumulative time. Also, if the terminal is placed in a HomeBase and
is running on external power, the indicator will cease counting. When the terminal
is removed from the HomeBase, the timer will resume.
