Battery icon
Icon
This BOOLEAN parameter controls whether or not the battery icon is displayed on the screen at
the top right corner. Measurement and display of battery voltage may be useful to those operators
who intend to operate the radio from battery power, for example during portable operations. There
are three possible values:
OFF No battery voltage is displayed;
Icon A battery voltage icon is displayed, configured according to the following
parameters in the following section;
Voltage The top right corner character displays the actual voltage
measurement, in a miniature pair of digits; the two bottom rows of the pixels of the
character have a number of pixels lit which indicate the decimal point of the battery
voltage (one pixel = 0.1V). In this example (right) the voltage is 12.2V.
Batt. full
12,000
This is the voltage, specified in millivolts, at which the battery is considered “full”.
Batt. step
1,000
This is the step, specified in millivolts, for each bar of the battery icon.
In this example, Batt. full is defined as 12V and the step is 1V. The battery icon has 7 possible
states, ranging from empty to full and 5 intermediate states in between. The meaning of the
displayed icon will be, in this example:
Full: 11.00V to 12V (and indeed, above 12V also)
5 bars: 10.00V to 10.99V
4 bars: 9.00V to 9.99V
3 bars: 8.00V to 8.99V
2 bars: 7.00V to 7.99V
1 bar: 6.00V to 6.99V
Empty: Below 6V
(NOTE: QMX should not be operated at above 12V or below 6V).
