The battery is outside the allowable
charging temperature range of 0 °C
to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Charging
will resume when the battery
temperature returns to within the
acceptable range.
There is a battery error. The battery
is not charging because it is missing,
faulty, or there is a bad connection.
The CV31 is not connected to
external power, and the battery is
very low. The computer will go into
Suspend mode soon. Charge or
replace the battery.
How to Supply Power to the CV31
The accessories you use to supply power to the CV31 depend on
whether you want to replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring or
perform a new installation:
• To replace a CV30 and keep your existing wiring, you need to
purchase an adapter cable (P/N VE027-8024-C0).
• To perform a new installation, you need to know the electrical
rating of your CV31 and the vehicle you are installing it on to
determine which power supply to use.
Note: The AC power supply for the CV31 has a different input
connector than the AC power supply for the CV30. You cannot use the
CV31 power supply with a CV30.

About the Backup Battery
If the CV31 is disconnected from external power, the backup battery
can keep the CV31 running in a network connected state for up to 30
minutes. When power is restored, the CV31 continues normal
operation.
An internal charger automatically charges the backup battery (within
8 hours) when the CV31 is connected to external power.
