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 105 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 (
