BATTERY USAGE
The time taken to discharge the battery pack will depend on how you use the radio.
The battery pack supplied is powerful enough for up to 17 hours of use under average
conditions using low power.
BATTERY LOW ALERT
When the battery icon blinks on the radio’s display, the battery level is low and the
battery pack should be recharged.
CONSERVING BATTERY POWER
The radio has built-in power saving features to help you get the maximum amount of
time between charges from your Li-ion battery pack. If you need to operate your radio
in a situation where you require maximum battery life (e.g. a remote site where there
is no convenient recharging facility nearby) the following hints can greatly reduce the
amount of power drawn from the battery pack.
STANDBY MODE
The radio will automatically enter the ‘Standby’ mode when it is inactive (i.e. not
transmitting or receiving signals).
While in Standby mode it will still check for incoming signals but it will draw
considerably less power from the battery pack. As soon as a signal is heard or the
keys are pressed the radio will ‘wake up’ again. This Standby mode is automatic and
by itself can extend the battery life by many hours.
