RF LINK LED
When a valid RF signal from a transmitter is received,
this LED will light up blue. Depending upon the se-
lected compatibility mode, a pilot tone may also be re-
quired to light up the LED and open the squelch on the
receiver. If the necessary pilot tone is not present, but
the RF signal is on the correct frequency, the RF level
indicator on the LCD will display a signal presence, but
the RF LINK LED will not light up.
BATT LED
When the battery status LED on the keypad glows
green the batteries are good. The color changes to red
at a midpoint during the runtime. When the LED begins
to blink red, only a few minutes remain.
The exact point at which the LED turns red will vary
with battery brand and condition, temperature and
power consumption. The LED is intended to simply
catch your attention, not to be an exact indicator of
remaining time.
A weak battery will sometimes cause the LED to glow
green immediately after the transmitter is turned on,
but it will soon discharge to the point where the LED
will turn red or the unit will turn off completely.
Rechargeable batteries give little or no warning when
they are depleted. If you wish to use these batteries in
the receiver, you will need to manually keep track of
the operating time to prevent interruptions caused by
dead batteries.
