Understanding The Battery Icons; Power Management - CipherLab M0010 Manual

1.1.3 UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY ICONS

The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work. It also
charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can
be retained properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low (see below
for battery status icon), you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or
charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, always save data before it is too late; you
should backup important data on a regular basis.

save data before running out of power or keep a fresh battery for
replacement.
