Battery meter
The battery meter is located in the left corner of the LCD panel. It looks
like a battery with three bars inside. These indicate the amount of
power available. As the power is used the bars will disappear. When the
battery level reaches its minimum level, the handset will emit two beep
tones and automatically turn OFF the power.
Battery life
The PMR has a built in power saver feature to make the batteries
last longer. But when you are not using the handset, it's better to
switch it off to save the battery power.
