BATTERY-SAVING CIRCUIT
If the scanner does not detect a signal within 5 seconds any time after
you manually select a channel or frequency, the scanner enters the
battery-saving standby mode.
In the standby mode, the scanner rests for 1 second then checks for a
signal for 1/2 second, using only 40 percent of the normal power
consumption. The scanner continues this until you press any button or
if receives a signal.
