Battery Life
Before you operate the transceiver outside using a battery pack,
it is important to know how long the battery pack will last. The
operating times listed in the table below are measured under the
following cyclic conditions:
TX : RX : Stand-by = 5 : 5 : 90
We recommend you carry extra battery packs with you, in case
the battery pack becomes discharged.

Battery Saver
The Battery Saver extends the operating time of the transceiver. It
automatically activates when the squelch is closed and no key is
pressed for more than 10 seconds. To reduce battery consumption,
this function shuts the receiver circuit OFF for the programmed
time, then momentarily turn it back ON to detect a signal.
To program the receiver shut-off period for the battery saver:
1
Enter Menu mode and access Menu No. 7 (SAV).
