Low battery warning
Notice
Do not allow a radio battery to fully discharge every time you
use it, or you will shorten the service life of the battery.
When the battery is low, your radio warns you in the following ways:
■
The battery symbol on the radio display looks empty.
■
The status LED on the radio slowly flashes red.
■
A high-pitched beep sounds.
You should recharge or replace the battery as soon as possible.
When the battery is completely empty, the message
Battery is flat
appears on the display. The radio emits a long, low-pitched beep and
then stops working. Turn off the radio.
Inserting the radio into the vehicle charger
1
Place the radio in the charger with the battery attached.
Warning
When the portable radio is used inside a vehicle, radio
performance is degraded. Use a mobile radio for all critical
communications. If the portable radio must be left switched on while
it is in the charger, removing the radio from the charger will improve
radio performance. Check your local regulations about using a
portable radio in a vehicle.
2
Firmly press the retention bar towards the
radio. If the larger battery (such as the
IS/NI battery) is attached to the radio,
there will be an audible click as the
catches engage. If the smaller battery is
attached to the radio, there will be two
audible clicks as the catches engage.
If the catches do not engage, remove the
radio. Press once firmly on the release bar, then try again.
