Conserving Battery Power

Theradiohasbuilt-inpowersavingfeaturestohelpyougetthemaximumamountoftimebetween

chargesfromyourLi-Ionbatterypack.Ifyouneedtooperateyourradioinasituationwhereyou

requiremaximumbatterylife(e.g.aremotesitewherethereisnoconvenientrechargingfacility

nearby)thefollowinghintscangreatlyreducetheamountofpowerdrawnfromthebatterypack.

Standby Mode

Theradiowillautomaticallyenterthe‘Standby’modewhenitisinactive(i.e.nottransmittingor

receivingsignals).

WhileinStandbymodeitwillstillcheckforincomingsignalsbutitwilldrawconsiderablylesspower

fromthebatterypack.Assoonasasignalisheardorthekeysarepressedtheradiowill‘wakeup’

again.ThisStandbymodeisautomaticandbyitselfcanextendthebatterylifebymanyhours.

Using CTCSS/DCS

Ifyouareexpectingtoreceivesignalsonabusychannel,youcanprogramthatchannelforCTCSS/

DCSoperationandgettheotherpersontocallyouusingthesameCTCSS/DCStone.Yourradiowill

thenremaininStandbyandignoreallothersignalsuntilyourselectedCTCSS/DCStoneisreceived.

Scanning

Theradiodrawsmorepowerfromthebatterypackwhenscanningthanwhenmonitoringasingle

channel.Thisisbecauseitmust‘wakeup’moreoftentomonitoreachchannelforactivity.You

can‘squeeze’thatextrabitoflifefromthebatterypackbyavoidinganyunnecessaryscanning.In

addition,scanningincreasesthechanceofndingasignaltherebykeepingthereceiver‘awake’

andthesquelchopenmoreoften.

Low Transmit Power Settings

Thetransmitterhasbothhighandlowpowersettings.Ifyouareonlyoperatingovershortdistances,

areinareasonablyhighlocationorareclosetoalocalrepeater,tryusingtheLowtransmitterpower

setting.Thisreducesthetransmitterpowerto1watteffectivelydoublingthetalktimeavailable.
