The manual describes the “low battery” visual indicator, something I rarely see because I tend to park my ht in its desk charger. Maybe I’ll follow the directions from now on and wait for the warning before charging.
Anyway, I hope the warning comes on before you try to transmit! If it doesn’t, that’s like a “no more oil in the crankcase” light.
