Low Battery Indication - Yaesu FTA-230 Operating Manual

Important Notes:
 The PA-48 is not designed to power the transceiver
for operation (reception or transmission).
 Do not leave the charger connected to the trans-
ceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours.
Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH
battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
 If using a charger other than the PA-48/CD-32,
CD-59, or if using a battery pack other than the
FNB-83, follow the appropriate instructions pro-
vided with the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer
if you have any doubts about the appropriateness of
the particular charger or battery pack you intend to
use.

Low Battery Indication

 As your battery discharges during use, the voltage
will gradually become lower. When the battery volt-
age is becoming too low for reliable operation, the
"
the LCD display, indicat-
ing that the battery pack
must be recharged before
further use.
 Avoid recharging Ni-MH batteries before the "
indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge
capacity of your Ni-MH battery pack. Yaesu recom-
mends that you carry an extra, fully-charged pack
with you so you will not lose communications capa-
bility due to a depleted Ni-MH battery.
