Charging The Nicd Battery Pack - Kenwood TK-3101 Instruction Manual

m@ Time-out Timer (TOT)
The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent any
single person from using a channel for an extended
period of time.
If you continuously transmit for 1 minute (30 seconds
for the Spanish market model), the transceiver will
stop transmitting and a tone will sound. To stop the
tone, release the PTT switch. You can press the
PTT switch again to resume transmitting.
Battery Save
The Battery Save function decreases the amount of
power used when a signal is not being received and
no operations are being performed (no keys are
being pressed, and no switches are being turned).
While the channel is not busy and no operation is
performed for 10 seconds, Battery Save is enabled.
When a signal is received or an operation is
performed, Battery Save is disabled.
Low Battery Warning
Low Battery Warning alerts you when the battery
needs to be recharged.
While transmitting, if the battery power goes below a
pre-determined value, the LED will blink red. When
a tone sounds, the transceiver stops transmitting.
Replace or recharge the battery pack.

The ambient temperature should be between 41 and 104°F
(5 and 40°C) while charging is in progress. Charging outside this
range may not fully charge the battery.
Always switch OFF the transceiver equipped with a NiCd battery
pack before charging. Using the transceiver while charging its
battery pack will interfere with correct charging.
The battery pack life is over when its operating time decreases
even though it is fully and correctly charged. Replace the battery
pack.
