If the output of the lithium battery is below 7.5 V, a warning message and a single system
status line displays. Diagnostics automatically terminates and returns you to the Main Menu.
Main battery is extremely low and should be replaced
before running diagnostics.

RTC: 01/28/2002 16:35:46 WDC: 01/28/2002 16:35:46 6.8 Vb 0 mA

Battery voltage is abnormally low. Check/replace
main battery pack before deploying system.

Press any key to continue.
Figure G-6: Replace Battery
A battery voltage near 10.8V and motor current values near 0mA indicate proper
functioning of the sensing circuits on the motherboard, functioning of the analog-to-digital
converter chip on the TT8v2, and operation of the SPI bus.
