Defining the Hardware Diagnostics Screens
Each hardware diagnostic screen is defined in this section.
Battery/PIC Status
Purpose:

pack and the backup (NiCad) battery.
Where Available:
Hardware Diagnostics menu, Battery/PIC Status and then choose either Main
Battery/PIC or Backup Battery/PIC
Sample Screen:
Definition:
Main Battery Capacity tells you the percentage of battery power remaining in the battery
pack. You can continue using the battery pack until the Battery icon appears on the
screen to indicate a low battery.
The backup battery test shows that the backup battery power is either GOOD or LOW. If
the status is LOW, turn off the terminal. Let the main battery pack charge the backup
battery. The backup battery will be fully charged in approximately 18 hours.
You can also use these screens to find out the current volts, temperature and charging
status. For both screens, the PIC Rev field is the firmware version that is running on the
battery monitory processor. The number in parentheses after the volts and temperature is
the hexadecimal value returned from the processor.
