Battery voltage display

I have an OSTC 2 #10685 running v3.01. Battery 3.747v (T1)
Recently whilst I was away on a 2 week diving trip the battery voltage value was displayed on a red background. It worked fine during the trip.
Is this OK?

Hi,

#10685 is an OSTC 2 (2015) and "T3" is the correct battery type for this device (Reset in "Reset Menu" -> "Reset battery"). But this does not make much difference in this case (For "T1 (The non-rechargeable 3,6V Saft Battery) the OSTC assumes 2400mAh instead of the 3100mAh your unit has).

Red means that the computer was (at least once) hotter then 49°C. In the OSTC2 this has no effect, you can remove this warning only with a "Reboot" from the Reset menu.

regards,
Matthias

Thank you. It was very hot on the boat and the a/c packed upon one day this may have been the reason. I was charging the computer in the saloon on a shelf under a light.
Resolved after a re-boot and battery set to T3
