Low Battery Warning

Your scanner will provide an audible low battery warning every 30 seconds when the batteries are

nearly depleted. The radio will shut down automatically to prevent corrupted MicroSD Card data when

the battery level is critically low.

NOTE: Actual timing of low battery warnings and shutdown will depend on the age and condition of the

batteries you are using.
