display as blank when no battery is present).
Once a battery is inserted to the battery port, the indicator will display battery information. In the upper
left corner, the display indicates “Idle.” Additional information displays voltage per battery cell, battery
charge percentage, battery capacity, and time remaining to full charge.
Press/select the menu button and the menu will change to “CHG,” indicating that the battery is
