lished.

the error message and contact your system administrator.

sounds. This indicates that the endpoint’s battery has 15-30 minutes of
charge remaining.
Battery Low If the battery is critically low, the endpoint displays the Battery low status and
an alarm sounds while the endpoint is idle. The endpoint cannot be used until
the battery pack is charged.
