Testing Internal Batteries

When you turn on the HTX-200, BAT appears briefly and the graduated bar (the signal strentgth meter) next to BAT indicates the battery strength. If the batteries are weak, the graduated bar

shows less than 4 boxes. The battery symbol ( ) constantly in- dicates the battery strength. When only one or two bars appear inside the battery strength indicator, replace both batteries as soon as possible.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the transceiver with batteries for a two week period, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
