To check whether the backup battery in the vehicle computer is charged, tap > Settings > Control Panel >

Power icon to display the Power Settings window.

To save battery power, set the vehicle computer to turn off after a specified number of minutes.

Ignition Sensing

The vehicle computer contains an Ignition Sense feature that detects when the ignition switch is turned off and

shuts the vehicle computer down after a preprogrammed timeout. This feature allows the operator to use the

vehicle computer for a predetermined time period after the ignition switch is turned off, then shuts the vehicle

computer down automatically to prevent over-discharge of the forklift battery. The timeout period is adjustable by

the user. The normal current draw of a suspended vehicle computer is approximately 500mA. When the vehicle

computer shuts down using the Ignition Sense feature, current draw is reduced to approximately 5 mA. This feature

provides the automatic shutoff functionality of an external relay, without requiring an actual relay and has the added

benefit of allowing the user to work for a preset time period before shutting down.

The power cable must be connected to the ignition switch. See 12 Volt Forklifts on page 2-11 for information on

connecting the power cable to enable the Ignition Sense feature.
