The battery has sufficient capacity.
The battery is exhausted a little.
The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charg-
ing is necessary. (The transceiver can be
operated for a short time.)
The battery is almost fully exhausted.
Charging is necessary. (The transceiver
quickly becomes impossible to operate.)
D Battery icon
The “ ” battery icon appears when the BP-271 or
BP-272 Li-ion battery pack is attached to the trans-
ceiver.
TIP: See page 4-4 for the optional BP-273 battery
case battery life.
NOTE:
• When the BP-273 battery case is attached to the
transceiver, the battery icon cannot display the bat-
tery capacity of the alkaline batteries. The battery
icon stays “
,” and it does not reflect with the true
battery capacity.
• Without disconnecting the battery charger or ex-
ternal DC power, the battery icon does not appear
when turning power ON after charging is completed.
