NOTE:
•
Even when the transceiver is OFF, a slight current still flows in the circuits. Remove the
battery pack or case from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, the
attached battery pack or case will become exhausted, and will need to be recharged or
replaced.

When the temperature is around 0°C (32°F) or below, the Battery Protection function
automatically sets the transceiver power to Low1 power (0.5 W), and disables power
selections High, Mid, and Low2.
