Status indicator LEDs on the front panel
There are 3 LEDs on the front of the COMET. The left
LED indicates whether AC power is attached, the middle
LED indicates battery status, and the right LED indicates
whether a Smart Card is attached.
The following chart lists the different battery states indi-
cated by the LED.
Solid green AC power is attached and the battery is fully
charged.
Blinking green AC power is attached and the battery is charging.
The duration between flashes of the LED indicate
how much time is left to charge the battery. The
shorter the duration the closer the battery is to full
charge.
Blinking amber The battery is discharging. A fully charged battery
has a long duration between blinks. As the battery
discharges, the LED blinks more rapidly.
Blinking red The battery is very low. Shut down is imminent.
Remember, though, that the COMET is a thin
client device. If the COMET shuts down while you
are working, your session is still active on the
server and your data is not lost. You can simply
attach AC power or move to another Comet on
the same network and continue your session.
