To ensure your session run trouble free, batteries are checked during the initial SCAN, and
throughout your sessions to ensure reliable performance.
In addition to the usual battery report during the SCAN phase of setup,
you can check your batteries at any time by pressing the “Device
Battery” button on the “Protocol” tab (V2.90 or later).
Additionally, warning messages will alert you when batteries are
becoming critically low.

(see image to the right). The charge level of each item will be indicated
next to the unit in the scan list –

Three charge bars (green)

depending on use and battery age
