2.4 Battery Test
The battery status should be checked repeatedly/frequently after battery
replacement and/or before important missions begin.
IMPORTANT!
• This is the most efficient battery capacity status test
• Do not perform the battery test on a busy channel!
Disconnect charger or remove radio from drop-in charger before testing, if
applicable.
Turn the power ON by rotating the OFF-ON-SQ OFF-VOX knob
1
clockwise from
'OFF' in the 'ON' position.
Press and hold the
smaller side TEST key
9
.
A combination of receiver noise and battery status
tones is audible via the built-in speaker or headphone.
The volume is adjustable with the VOL knob.
Simultaneously the 'TX BATT' LED
2
will flash RED in
the sequence of the battery status tone.
Battery status tone sequences and flashing of the 'TX BATT' LED
2
:
• • • • • • • • •
Three-dots sequence
=
Battery is fully charged, normal battery status to use
the FSG 7016.
• • • • • •
Two-Dots sequence
=
Battery is approximately half charged. Consider to
use another, fully charged battery, or be aware of only
a limited transceiver operating time available.
• • •
One-dot sequence
=
Battery is discharged. Only short operating time left.
Immediate battery replacement is recommended.
Arrange for battery recharging. If possible, start a com-
plete discharge/charge cycle in order to keep the
battery fully alive for reliable, maximum life time.
NOTICE:
The one-dot sequence in transmit mode starts auto-
matically (without pressing the side TEST key), as a
warning.
____________
Continuous
=
In Transmit mode, tone and red LED are 'ON'
continuously. Transmitter is now disabled due to low
supply. Receiving may still be possible but only for a
short while. REPLACE AGAINST A FULLY
CHARGED BATTERY.
____________
Continuous
=
In Receive mode, the automatic continuous warning
starts a few minutes before the radio switches OFF
itself automatically due to low battery supply voltage.
Release the side TEST key
9
. Continue to program frequencies and TX power
output of the transceiver FSG 7016.
