Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a small
current still flows in the radio. Remove the battery
pack or case from the transceiver when not using it
for a long time. Otherwise, the batteries in the pack
or the case will become exhausted.
When the temperature is around 0°C (+32°F) or be-
low, the battery protection function automatically sets
transceiver power to Low1 power (0.5 W), and disables
