N o t e
Battery charging is performed any time the AC adaptor is connected,
even while FIVA is turned on. Note, however, that a full charge is
attained more quickly when FIVA is turned off.
Checking the Battery Indicator Lamp Color
A green
indicator lamp is lit while FIVA is being powered by the
AC adaptor indicates that the battery is fully charged. Charging is in
progress when the
indicator lamp is amber.
Checking with Mobile Cockpit
Mobile Cockpit’s battery monitor function lets you graphically view the
charge level of the battery at any time.
Using the Battery Pack Effectively
The amount of operating time you get from the battery pack is greatly
affected by operating conditions and how you use it.
FIVA’s mobile computing Power Management functions help to
ensure that you get maximum power out of the battery pack.
Forced Hibernation Mode
To help ensure that you do not lose application data files, FIVA goes
into forced Hibernation mode whenever the battery charge level
drops below a certain point. When this happens, connect the AC
adaptor and press the power switch to recover from the Hibernation
mode.
