7.3 Reducing Battery Consumption (Battery Saver)

7.3 Reducing Battery Consumption (Battery Saver)
Battery Saver allows the transceiver to reduce power consumption by receiving intermittently.
The transceiver receives intermittently in the following conditions.
• When there is no carrier and no key is pressed for 5 sec or more.
• When there is a carrier, but the QT tone, DQT code, or RAN code does not match that preconfigured for the
transceiver and no key is pressed for 5 sec or more.
Extension of the intervals for intermittent reception may reduce the battery consumption; however, interruptions to
introductory parts of received audio may occur. To use Battery Saver effectively, there are systemic issues to consider, for
instance, the duration from when the transceiver starts transmitting until the transceiver starts sending audio.
Intervals for intermittent reception are as follows.
Note
• Battery Saver is activated only in an Analog Conventional system and NXDN Conventional system.
• Battery Saver is not activated while the transceiver is scanning.
