Annunciators

Four stages of visual and audible low battery warnings should occur according to
the following intervals. The annunciators indicate the level of the main battery.
The "Bs" represent battery icons on the 6110 Computer. There may be a one-
minute delay for the icons to update when the battery pack is replaced.
Low Battery Level
When the capacity reaches 20%, the single annunciator icon changes to four L's
(Table 4-1).
When charging, the annunciator icons change to C's. Each "C" represent 25% of
battery capacity: "C" = 0 to 25%, "CC" = 26 to 50%, "CCC" = 51 to 75%, and
"CCCC" = 76 to 100%.
