BATTERY SAVER
The Battery Saver extends the operating time of the transceiver. It automatically
activates when the squelch is closed and no key is pressed for more than 10 seconds.
To reduce battery consumption, this function shuts the receiver circuit OFF for the
programmed time, then momentarily turn it back ON to detect a signal.
To program the receiver shut-off period for the battery saver:
1 Enter Menu mode and access Menu No. 4 (SAVE), then press [F].
2 Rotate the ENC control to select OFF/ 0.2/ 0.4/ 0.6/ 0.8/ 1.0/ 2.0/ 3.0/ 4.0/
5.0 seconds, then press [F] to store the setting.
3 Press [MENU] or [PTT] to exit Menu mode.
Note:
◆ The longer the shut-off period, the more you can save on battery consumption. However,
there is a greater chance of missing a signal.
◆ When the CTCSS/ DCS code matches while receiving, the battery saver function is turned
OFF.
◆ Battery Saver does not function while scanning.
◆ While the Battery Saver is operating, the TX-RX LED may flash green when receiving a
CTCSS/DCS signal which does not match the transceiver CTCSS/DCS setting.
