NOTE: When the battery case is attached, the battery pro- tection function must be turned OFF in the Initial Set mode 13 (p. 47). ■ Battery information D Battery life Battery pack/case Voltage Capacity Battery life*1 BP-263 Battery case for AA (LR6) × 6 alkaline -*2 BP-264 7.2 V 1400 mAh 13 hrs. BP-265 7.4 V 1900 mAh (min.) 2000 mAh (typ.) 19 hrs. *1 When the power save function is set to "P-S.At," and the operating time is calculated under the following conditions; TX : RX : standby = 5 : 5 : 90 *2 The average operating life depends on the alkaline cells used. E ven when the transceiver power is OFF, a small current still flows in the transceiver. Remove the battery pack/case when it won't be used for a long time. Otherwise, the battery pack or the batteries in the case will become exhausted. D Battery indication The battery indicator, " ," appears when a battery pack/ case is attached to the transceiver. Indicator Battery condition The battery has ample capacity. The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charging the battery pack, or replacing the batteries in the case is necessary.
