  • Patent number: 6437699
    Abstract: When a remaining capacity of a battery is displayed by remaining capacity display control means, operation state discrimination function discriminates an operation state of an apparatus and also discriminates whether battery output voltage Vout is greater than discrimination value Vp when the apparatus is in reception indication operation. If the battery output voltage Vout is greater than the discrimination value Vp, remaining capacity of the battery corresponding to the battery output voltage Vout in a standby state immediately before the start of the reception indication operation is displayed on LCD. If the battery output voltage Vout is equal to or smaller than the discrimination value Vp, the remaining capacity of the battery corresponding to the battery output voltage Vout of this time is displayed as it is on the LCD.
