The battery pack is the only power source for the TERMINAL to work. It also charges the 
backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be retained 

properly. Therefore, when the main battery charge goes low, you need to replace the 
battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible. Most of all, you should 

backup important data on a regular basis. 
By looking at the battery icon, you can tell battery charge remaining in the main 

battery – the higher the green level, the more power in the main battery. Double-tap a 
battery icon so that you can quickly access the [Power Properties] dialog box.
