Extending Life
Operating time depends largely on duty cycle,
and how you care for the battery pack. The FT-50R
offers several ways to conserve battery power, and
extend the life of each charge.
APO (Automatic Power-Off)
Obviously the best way to save battery life is to turn
the set off when not in use. You can activate APO to
turn the transceiver off after a half hour, one, three,
five, or eight hours of key inactivity. APO is disabled
by default, but you can activate it as follows:
Hold the knob for second, and then release and
turn it to display 16 . Press the knob mo-
mentarily, then turn it to select
or (APO deactivated).
Press the PTT to exit.
shortcut to setting the APO delay:
When the APO timer is active, appears in the
display, and the timer resets every time you press a
key or move the knob. If you don’t press any keys for
the selected time-out period, and you are not scan-
ning or using Dual Watch, begins blinking, and if
you have the key beeper activated (see the following
page), an alert melody plays about a minute before
the radio turns itself off. Press a key in that minute if
you want the radio to stay on.
Once it turns off, you must switch the radio back on
for use. If you need to monitor for a long period, or if
using an external DC supply, you can deactivate
APO by the same steps above.
Receive Battery Saver
The receive battery current drain dur-
ing squelched monitoring by putting the receiver to
“sleep” after the squelch closes, and then “waking it
up” periodically to check for activity. When enabled,
