Recharging the Battery
Under normal usage your radio battery can be expected to last
approximately eight hours before it requires recharging. If you
spend a lot of time transmitting, this time will be reduced; if
you rarely transmit it may be considerably longer.
When battery voltage is low, the (TX / BUSY) indicator flashes
red and the radio sounds a low-pitched beep every 20 sec-
onds. You can continue using the radio, but you should re-
charge the battery as soon as possible to avoid reducing its
life.
Note:
Once the battery becomes too discharged to properly
run the radio, the radio switches itself off.
The battery can be recharged while still attached to the radio,
or it can be recharged separately.
Mounting the Radio in the Charger
1. Turn the radio
off
using the front panel ON/OFF (
5
) key.
(The radio may be left on, but, if using a trickle charger,
full charge may not be achieved).
2. Place the radio, with its battery still fitted, into the charger.
Note:
Some Radio Regulatory Authorities forbid any trans-
missions while the radio is mounted in its charger.
3. Recharge according to the “Recharging” instructions follow-
ing.
