[ICOM] Help with R-1

Sat May 14 10:03:44 EDT 2005

Hello Lou and others.

Some answers to your questions.  Firstly, the internal 6 cell pack you
discovered is original  and they were all originally nicads so yours will be
also if it hasn't been changed.  Secondly, the internal li-ion cell is
located on the PCB behind the keypad from memory.  If this discharges just
place the R1 on charge for a while and it should return to life.

I had this same thing happen to me not long ago.  This occurrence is also
mentioned in the owners manual and the necessary charging requirement to get
the unit going again.

Best regards,

Des - VK3DMP.
