OPERATION
Receive Battery Saver Setup
An important feature of the VXA-210 is its Receive
Battery Saver, which “puts the radio to sleep” for a
time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check
for activity. If somebody is talking on the channel,
the VXA-210 will remain in the “active” mode, then
resume its “sleep” cycles. This feature significantly
reduces quiescent battery drain, and you may change
the amount of “sleep” time between activity checks
using the Menu System:
r Press the
[
F
]
key, then press the DIAL selector
knob to activate the Menu (“SET”) mode.
r Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select Menu
Item 06 “RSAV.”
r Press the DIAL selector knob to enable adjust-
ment of this Menu item.
r Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the de-
sired “duty cycle” (receive:sleep). The selections
available are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and ABS
ø
or
oFF. The default value is 1:1.
r When you have made your selection, press the
DIAL selector knob to save the new setting, and
then press the PTT key exit to normal operation.
ø
ABS: Automatic Battery Saver, based on activity
on the receiver.
The setting of 1:5 will promote the greatest conser-
vation of battery capacity, but the receiver’s response
time to incoming calls will be slowed somewhat.
Note: This feature does not operate during Scan or
Dual Watch.
