Receive Battery Saver Setup
An important feature of the
VXA-200
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-200
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
CHANNEL
se-
lector knob to activate the Menu (“SET”) mode.
r
Rotate the
CHANNEL
selector knob to select
Menu Item “
RSAV
.”
r
Press the
CHANNEL
selector knob to enable ad-
justment of this Menu item.
r
Rotate the
CHANNEL
selector knob to select
the desired “duty cycle” (receive:sleep). The se-
lections 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
CHANNEL
selector knob
to save the new set-
ting, 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.
