Preventing Battery Discharge - E.F. Johnson Company 002-9750-003 Operating Manual

higher ground or away from shielding structures such as tall buildings and hills. Changing the direction of the vehicle
may also improve signal quality.

Preventing Battery Discharge

In the standby mode (power on, receiver squelched), transceiver power consumption is relatively low. Therefore,
the transceiver can be left on for one or two days without operating the vehicle and the battery should not become seri-
ously discharged. However, if the outdoor temperature is low enough to significantly decrease battery capacity, the
transceiver power should be turned off when the transceiver is not in use.
Since power consumption is significantly higher when transmitting, it is good practice to have the vehicle running
while transmitting. This ensures that there is sufficient power to the transceiver and that the charge of the battery is
maintained.
Transceiver Servicing
If the transceiver is not operating properly, turn the power off and then on again to reset the control logic. Also
make sure that the front-panel controls are properly set and that the antenna, external speaker (if used), and power
cables are securely plugged into the back of the transceiver. If the transceiver still does not operate properly, contact
your dealer for service.
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable components in this transceiver. Altering internal adjustments can void the
warranty and cause illegal emissions, and result in improper operation that can seriously damage the transceiver.
