Illustration shows the
battery pack is attached.
NOTE:
Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a
small current still flows in the transceiver. Remove the
battery pack or case from the transceiver when not
using it for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or
installed batteries will become exhausted.
The battery protection function automatically sets
transceiver to Low1 power (0.5 W) when the temper-
ature is around 0°C (+32°F) or below. In this case,
transmit power selections (High, Mid and Low2) are
disabled.
TIP:
Third-party antennas may increase transceiver
performance. An optional AD-92SMA
antenna
con
-
nector
adapter
is available to connect an antenna
that has a BNC connector. (p. 18-3)
NEVER
carry the transceiver by holding only the an-
tenna.
