ARMOR X10gx Tablet Computer
Operating Under Low Battery Conditions
CAUTION!
The battery critical alarm and action points are preset at the factory
and should not be changed unless directed by DRS Technical
Support. Incorrectly setting the battery alarm points could result in
the X10gx shutting down unexpectedly and causing the loss of work
in progress or corrupting your hard drive. DRS is not responsible for
any loss of data or damage to the system as a result of changes to
battery alarm point settings.
NOTE
Warning icons and alert windows may differ slightly depending on
your version of the Windows operating system.
Low Battery Level Alarm
Your ARMOR X10gx is designed to operate even when the battery is depleted (<10% charge).
When the total charge drops below 10% (low battery level), the bottom-most LED in the fuel
gauge (20% indicator) will flash and a low battery alert message will be displayed, as shown in
Figure 114. At this point, DRS recommends you connect external power to recharge the
batteries or replace one or both batteries with fresh batteries.

Reserved Battery Level Alarm
When the remaining charge reaches 7% (reserved battery level), a second battery alert
message will be displayed, as shown in Figure 115, and the battery icon in the task tray will
display a red “X”. At this point, you need to save your work and then connect external power,
replace the batteries or shut down the computer.
