Maestro B low power and shutdown while connected

in Maestro
I just set up my new pre-loved Maestro-B. Without a battery connected but with the external power connected It shows a small message box just after power-up. It says low power and starts a 2 minute countdown to shut off.
There is also a light 1-second interval click (relay) sound from the lower right that starts even before the splash screen. I tried 2 other power 12VDC supplies with plenty of current available.
During the brief time its on its all good, I get on the 6600 and hear signals, etc.
I went over the user manual and nothing shows up for this issue.
Any help is appreciated.

    Problem resolved. After leaving the power supply on the Maestro a while the problem ended. There is no mention of this in the manual. Is there an internal battery that needs replacing? (Not the portable USB battery)

    I believe the tablet which forms the front-display does have an internal battery, which only charges when your Maestro A/B is powered from AC. Which would explain what you're seeing.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
