Battery with Warning Triangle on start up.

I Have a Scroll Extreme.

I went to use it this morning and i would light up on the usual button press.

Once i held it down, a battery symbol appeared on the screen with an orgnage triangle and exclaimation mark inside.

What does this mean??

Can't be certain as I don't have an Extreme but I would think this combination icon is telling you the battery is low and requires charging.
If it isn't broken then don't try to fix it!

Almost certainly it indicates that the battery is flat. Connect your charger and see if it will boot up.

I'm guessing here but I have noticed that when the tablets are in "sleep" mode, rather than being "off" they seem to wake up after a time with the screen off and can then discharge the battery beyond the "switch-off" level. Re-booting from "cold" does seem to consume quite a bit of power so if the battery is low it makes sense to inhibit re-booting.

Do you turn the tablet off or just put it to sleep when you finish using it at night ?
