Extending battery life
Your radio may have two features that allow you to extend the
shift life of the radio battery:
■
low power transmit mode, and
■
dynamic power control
Low power transmit
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. While low power transmit is active, transmissions
are made at low power rather than at the preset power level and
appears in the display.
Some channels may be programmed to always transmit at low
power.
To override the power settings of the current channel, you may be
able to:
■
