Note that for Tri-Axial Mode, the maximum recording time
is limited to 90 days due to battery life.
Battery Life Gauge
The MotionWatch Manager screen shows the battery life
gauge to provide an indication of remaining battery life
using a colour coded bar. The bar will change colour to
provide a clear indication of battery status as the battery
becomes depleted. The battery life gauge has the following
indications:
Green
60% to 100%
72 to 120 days (MW Mode)
54 to 90 days (Tri Mode)
Yellow
40% to 59%
48 to 71 days (MW Mode)
36 to 53 days (Tri Mode)
Orange
20% to 39%
24 to 47 days (MW Mode)
18 to 35 days (Tri Mode)
Red
0% to 19%
0 to 23 days (MW Mode)
0 to 17 days (Tri Mode)
When the battery life falls below 15%, the gauge will flash
and an additional message will be displayed in the status
area (as shown above).
ALWAYS REPLACE THE BATTERY IF THE RECORDING
IS LONGER THAN THE EXPECTED BATTERY LIFE.
If set-up is attempted with a short battery life, an additional
warning message will be displayed.
