EFJohnson 8170 Series, 002-8170-001 manual Low Battery Indicator, Menu Mode

GENERAL FEATURES

Low Battery Indicator

When the battery voltage drops to the point where recharging is required, the amber low-battery indicator on the top panel lights. In addition, a beep sounds when this indication initially appears and when the push-to-talk switch is released (if the key press tone is enabled). The battery should be recharged as soon as possible after this indication appears (see page 53).

The low-battery indication is turned off by turning power off and then on again. Current settings of switches and other parameters are saved in memory during a low-battery condition, and low transmit power is automatically selected (indicated by “L” in display). If the battery voltage drops to the point where the trans- ceiver no longer operates, all segments in the display are enabled.
