Checking Main and Backup Battery Status

Enter “Power Properties”:

If the above mentioned “Plug” icon or “Battery” icon is
displayed, double tap this icon to bring up the “Power
Properties” screen.

Or, select 

Settings/Control Panel

 from the 

Start 

menu

and then double tap the “

Power

” icon to display “Power

Properties”.

Check Battery Status

:

It is necessary to charge the battery when “Low” or “Very
Low” are displayed in bold characters.  If “Low” or “Very
Low” are still displayed after charging, please contact
Wasp Technical Support.

The battery menu item will show the status of the main
and backup batteries.  There are 3 kinds of status indica-
tors — “Good”, “Low” and “Very Low”. Bold characters
indicate the actual status, e.g. battery icons in the illustra-
tion at right mean both the main and backup batteries are
“GOOD”.
