BCD536HP Losing Time & Date

[R0am3r]

If my new BCD536HP scanner has been unused for a few days, I am forced to enter the time and date at boot time. Since I typically operate my radios on weekends, the 536 sits unused for several days in a row. Is this a known bug or is it a user issue?

Some other people had that issue. How long did you had the 535HP? Some people are saying plug it in for about 24 hours than it should keep the time/date with no problem. I went on a vacation for just over a week and I unplugged the 536HP while I was gone and I plugged it in Wed night had no problem.

As per UPMan's original post on the subject, leave the scanner plugged in and turned on for 50 hours to charge the internal clock battery:

When in doubt leave the scanner on for 3 days straight.

The see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback. The radio has been plugged in for several weeks, but I always turned it off when away from the shack during the week. Now I have it turned on for the charge.

Thanks. I should know by next weekend if the radio has an issue.
