Testing Internal Batteries
When you turn on the HTX-200,
BAT
appears briefly and the
graduated bar (the signal strentgth meter) next to
BAT
indicates
the battery strength. If the batteries are weak, the graduated bar
shows less than 4 boxes. The battery symbol (
) constantly in-
dicates the battery strength. When only one or two bars appear
inside the battery strength indicator, replace both batteries as
soon as possible.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the transceiver with batteries
for a two week period, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
