Battery & Power Properties
CAUTION: Replace only with airpanel V150 battery (MW-BAT-003).
Your airpanel V150 has two power sources, AC (using the AC/DC converter)
or battery. To run your airpanel V150 from an AC outlet, use the supplied
AC/DC adapter cable.
It takes the airpanel V150 approximately two (2) hours to charge while not in
use and four (4) hours while in use. In normal operation (when not connected
to an AC outlet), the airpanel V110 operates on battery power alone. A fully
charged battery can last up to four (4) hours depending on power consumption
factors such as the screen’s brightness setting. The use of optional PCMCIA
card accessories will also affect battery life.
Battery Power Status
The Power Level Icon
To determine the battery’s current charge level, check the battery charge icon
on the airpanel desktop screen.
100% 0% 50%
The Power Status LED
The Power Status LED at the upper right corner of the airpanel also displays
useful information in the battery’s current status and charge level.
In normal battery powered operation:
• Off - the device is powered off
• Solid Green - power level OK
• Solid Yellow - power level low
• Blinking Yellow - power level critically low
When using the AC Power Adapter:
• Solid Green - AC powered, battery charged
• Solid Yellow - AC powered, battery charging
When using the optional airpanel V150 Dock (described later in the manual):
• Solid Green - AC powered, battery charged
• Blinking Green - AC powered, battery charging

Antenna Signal Properties
Your airpanel V150 and home PC use a wireless radio signal standard called
Wi-Fi (802.11b) to communicate with one another. For the best possible
connection signal, locate the AirSync wireless adapter at an adequate height
above floor level.
The quality of your radio connection signal can be weakened by excessive
distance and by intervening materials such as walls and furnishings. On
occasion, you may want to check the quality of your wireless connection.
Wireless Connection Signal Status

To check the quality of the wireless signal connection between your airpanel
and your home PC, view the network icon on the airpanel desktop screen.
