Upon initial power-on, the unit will display the company logo, battery status and software
version. If the battery is not installed, has failed self-test, or is in a low-temperature state, the
battery life will show 0%.

2.2
Thermal Stabilization
On initial power-on, the various internal sensors must thermally stabilize. While this is
occurring, the corresponding indicator area will be covered by a red X. At room temperature,
this process takes approximately 1 minute. At colder temperatures, this may take longer.
If the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the battery will enter a heating cycle and the battery
status icon will be red-X’ed with a BAT HEATING indication as follows:
