The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by
reducing transmit power when a very strong signal from
an apparently nearby station is being received. Caution
is advised when using this feature, as your transmission
power could degrade the audio heard by the receiving ra-
dios in your communication path.
Press, (or press and hold), the assigned
PF
key to disable
the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a loca-
tion where high power is almost always needed.
Press again, (or press and hold again), the assigned
PF
key, the Transmit Battery Saver activates to reduce the
transmit power when a very strong signal from an appar-
ently nearby station is being received.
