2-4 Battery Level Indicator
•Battery consumption level may change
depending on the surrounding temperature
or the frequency of use.
•Even if the battery icon appears to indicate
the necessity of charging the battery, it can
be used further if the usage is only for low
output transmission or reception.
•The default setting of the battery pack type
is "bAt-1" which is for AA type cells.
When using Lithium Ion battery pack,
select the battery type setting to "bAt-2" in
the Setting mode (page 26, ITEM No.16) to
correctly indicate the battery level icon.
Reference : Due to the amplification circuitry used in this unit to
obtain high output with only 2 batteries, it may
happen that the unit cannot be turned on when the
battery voltage is getting low (while the low-battery
icon is on the display), but not completely
discharged yet. This is not a defect but we
recommend that:
•When the low-battery icon appears, recharge or
replace the batteries.
•When the low-battery icon appears, try not to turn
off the radio until fully use up the battery power.
When they are completely discharged the display
will turn off.
*When the battery level
becomes low, the battery icon
appears.
Charge or replace the battery.
