Taking Care of the Battery

Checking the Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate the battery’s charge status through:

• the LED and sounds.

• the fuel gauge icon on the display.

You can also check the battery charge status via the menu

entry. See IMPRES™ Battery Annunciator on page 156 for

more information.

LED and Sounds

When your battery is low:

• the LED blinks red when the PTT button is pressed.

• you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone).

Fuel Gauge Icon

A blinking fuel gauge icon ( ) is displayed only when the

battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the

battery with a fully charged one.
