AVOID 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. In addition, scanning increases the chance of
nding a signal thereby keeping the receiver ‘awake’ and the squelch open more
often.
USE LOW TRANSMIT POWER
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 0.5 watts which increases the talk time available.
