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 2
progress when the 
indicator lamp is amber. See pages 87 to 88.
Checking with Mobile Cockpit
Mobile Cockpit’s battery monitor function lets you graphically view the charge level of the battery at any time. See page 87.
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. See page 37.
