Battery Saver; Mode Reset Timer - Kenwood TK-2170 Series Function Reference

1.13 Battery Saver

Battery Saver turns Off the receiver circuits periodically to
reduce battery consumption.
The transceiver receives intermittently in the following
conditions:
•
While no carrier is detected.
•
If no key is pressed for more than 5 seconds while a
carrier is detected and the QT/DQT does not match.
A user may have a chance to miss a call when the
transceiver receives a call while Battery Saver is enabled.
To avoid this, the transmitting party must be delayed to
talk or sending data after the transceiver starts
transmitting.
Battery Saver can be configured by using KPG-101D.
Following are the duration of intermittent reception.
