7.11.

 

CARPE Manager app will automatically cycle the battery between 60-80% when charging 
via USB wall charger, Holder and M8 charging cable. It will take in consideration your 
battery level, temperature, calibration accuracy, system load input current and screen 
brightness to adjust the charging in more than 40 possible combinations. Under certain 
conditions charging to 100% will be automatically allowed by the charging algorithms, such 
as in case the battery level indicator needs calibration (see Section 7.14).  

   

 

7.12.

 

The power management can be turned off by disabling AI charging algorithms, which will 
allow charging to 100% capacity (it is not recommended to keep the Pad charged to 100%, 
since it can cause premature battery failure and overheating): 

 

 

7.13.

 

System battery level indicator (battery level shown on main screen) is for orientation only. 
It may be necessary to calibrate the battery level indicator from time to time to achieve 
accurate readings (refer to Troubleshooting section). Regardless of the values shown by the 
System battery level indicator, the real battery voltage is the only relevant criteria for the 

Device’s operation (even when the System battery indicator is showing 1%, the Device will 

not shut down until the battery voltage goes down to 3,4V).  

7.14.

 

The Carpe Manager app will attempt to calibrate the system battery level indicator at times 
the deviation from real capacity will exceed acceptable parameters. The calibration process 
may take a few minutes. During the calibration, the battery level indicator can show various 
values, but they will settle after completing the calibration procedure.  

7.15.

 

Real battery level can be verified in the Manager app - Power&Charge (refer to Section 
7.11) or on the System pull down menu:
