7.2 Battery Operation

The battery LED (on the far right side of the I/O controller module) is amber if the

battery is bad or missing. The LED blinks green if the battery is charging and is solid

green when the battery is fully charged.

Battery status is displayed at the top of the initial firmware screen. BAT: status

displays somewhere in the range from BAD to ----- (charging) to +++++ (fully

for 72 hours. As long as one or more + signs are displayed, your battery is performing

correctly.
