66 Extending battery life on a shift
Customizing your radio
Extending battery life on a shift
You can reduce the power consumption of your radio
(and thereby extend the life of the battery during a shift)
in three ways:
Q transmit at low power (if your radio is not already
configured to do this)
Q ensure that backlighting automatically turns off
when no radio activity is detected (see “About dis-
play and keypad backlighting” on page 64).
Turning low power transmit on and off
If you are using your radio in conditions where signal
strength is high, you can extend the shift life of your
battery by transmitting at low power.
When low power transmit is turned on, transmissions
are made at low power rather than at the
preprogrammed power setting. However, some
channels may be preprogrammed to always transmit at
low power.
Using the Main menu
You can turn low power transmit on and off for the
current channel using the Main menu:
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
> Low power transmit.
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select.
