The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by

is advised when using this feature, as your transmission

power could degrade the audio heard by the receiving ra-

dios in your communication path.

the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a loca-

tion where high power is almost always needed.

key, the Transmit Battery Saver activates to reduce the

transmit power when a very strong signal from an appar-

ently nearby station is being received.
