Battery - Honeywell MX7 Tecton User Manual

Battery

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Battery
This panel is used to view the status and percentage of power remaining in the MX7 Tecton main battery.
The battery gas gauge icon resides in the system tray and shows four levels of charge – 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%.
At a point below 25%, the system status LED will turn red and the gas gauge icon will turn red indicating the
battery is low. The battery gauge icon (battery toolbar icon) is enabled by default, but can be disabled on the
Battery control panel.
Jacked is shown in the Status box when the Main battery is receiving external power.
The main battery is charged/recharged when the MX7 Tecton is docked in a powered cradle or directly cabled to an exter-
nal power source.
The internal battery draws power from the Main battery to maintain a charge. The Super-cap battery voltage and percent-
age of power fluctuate continuously.
When there is no Main battery in the unit, the internal battery begins to discharge as it maintains RAM and other vital set-
tings. After a Main battery is installed, the internal battery begins to draw power from the Main battery again and is fully
recharged in five minutes or less.
Note: Frequent connection to an external power source, if feasible, is recommended to maintain main battery charge status
as the Super-cap battery cannot be recharged by a dead or missing main battery.
