Getting Started
Warning
Upon receiving your CE5000B unit, it is strongly recommended that you first charge the batteries prior to use.
These following messages are likely to appear due to the length of time the unit was stored. When the battery
reaches the low level, the battery status indicator will flash red. The Main Battery field will be highlighted as
“Low” under the Battery or Status Tab. It will remain highlighted as long as the battery level is between 6% and
16%.
Battery Warnings
Main Batteries Very Low
Following several hours of use or storage, the main
battery will become very low and this warning will
appear when there is still some power remaining.
At 5% the battery status indicator continues to
flash and a window will display to indicate to the
user that the battery is at a critical level and must
be re-charged. This warning shall be displayed
approximately every 4 minutes for as long as the
battery is below 5 %.
It is strongly recommended that the batteries be
re-charged immediately to avoid loss of data.
Note: The level at which this warning is to appear
can be configured according to preference. Refer
to “Battery Power Management” for further
instructions.
Main Battery Expired
This warning will appear when the power is too
low. Turn the unit off immediately and recharge the
batteries.
Warning
Data may be lost if the unit is not re-charged
immediately.
Backup Battery Low
The backup battery will save programs and files in
the memory for days. The backup battery is used
when replacing the main battery or when the main
battery has expired.The backup battery will be recharged every time the main batteries are charged.
Note: The life of the backup battery will depend
on:
• The residual power of the main battery.
• The amount of memory installed in the unit.
