Possible Problem (3):

5%, receiving 5%, and in standby mode
90% of the time. Usage that differs from this
will change the typical battery life expect-

of time than the standard duty cycle, you
may need to recharge your battery again.
Possible Problem (4):
be dirty.
Solution :Clean battery and charger contacts
often.
Alkaline Battery does not last long enough (<10
minutes).
Possible Problem (1):
power with alkaline batteries.
Solution :When used with alkaline batteries, the
radio should operate at low power
unless absolutely necessary.
It is recommended to operate your radio in Low
Power when using alkaline batteries. Using alkaline
batteries in High Power might result a Low Battery
Alert (3 low pitched tones) shortly after transmitting.
This is NOT a malfunction. The alert sounds
because alkaline batteries cannot maintain the
power needed to transmit at High Power for a long
interval. However, APC is immediately activated
when this alert sounds. It automatically adjusts the
radio's power requirements to maintain the radio's
operation. Without APC, the radio would instead
reset itself and refuse to transmit.
