34 Allegro CX Owner’s Manual
Tap on Start | Programs | Utilities | Set Battery to open the Set
Battery Parameters screen.
Set the Enter New Battery Charge Level to 10% and tap on Accept.
Charge your battery pack to full capacity.
Note: We recommend setting the Enter New Battery Charge Level to
10% and charging the battery pack to full capacity anytime your Allegro
is left unused for more than a day without being plugged into an external
power source and you are unsure to the charge level of the battery pack.
The Set Battery Parameters screen functions the exact same way the
New Battery Detected screen works, with only one exception, the
Set Battery Parameters screen has a Cancel button. The Cancel button
allows you to close the screen without setting the battery charge
level.
