Yaesu VX-3E - TX Battery Saver; Disabling the BUSY Indicator

VX-3R/E OPERATING MANUAL 95
TX BATTERY SAVER
The VX-3R/E also includes a useful Transmit Battery Saver, which will automatically
lower the power output level when the last signal received was very strong. For example,
when you are in the immediate vicinity of a repeater station, there generally is no reason to
use the High Power output in order to achieve full-quieting access to the repeater. With the
Transmit Battery Saver, the automatic selection of Low Power operation conserves battery
drain significantly.
To activate the Transmit Battery Saver:
1. Press and hold in the
[
TXPO
]
key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 73: SAVETX.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL
knob.
3. Press the
[
TXPO
]
key momentarily to enable adjustment of this
Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “ON” (thus
activating the Transmit Battery Saver).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
