ceiver, the battery icon cannot display the battery capac-
ity of the alkaline batteries. The battery icon stays “

and it does not reflect with the true battery capacity.
• Without disconnecting the battery charger or external DC
power, the battery icon does not appear when turning
power ON after charging is completed.
