Reason
Spacelabs has received reports of the failure of the power supply that provides electricity to the Arkon Subsystems. This failure causes the system to run on its internal battery(s) without charging them or providing the user the "on battery" display messages. Once the batteries reach their minimal charge level, the Arkon powers down and the backup audible buzzer alarm activates.
