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 Press [MENU].
2 Turn the Tuning control to select Menu No. 16 (SAV).
3 Press [MENU].
4 Turn the Tuning control to select the receiver shut-
off period from OFF, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 (default),
2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 seconds.
5 Press [MENU] to store the setting or [PTT] to cancel.
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 during reception, the
battery saver function is turned OFF.
