Page 72 7 BATTERY 7.2 Reducing Battery Consumption (Battery Saver) Reducing Battery Consumption (Battery Saver) Battery Saver is the function that the transceiver intermittently monitors the presence of a signal while in the standby state to save the battery consumption. By switching the receiver circuit of the transceiver on or off at certain intervals, a user can reduce the battery consumption. If a key has not been pressed for 5 sec or more while no carrier (analog/ digital) or frame synchronization word (digital) exists, the transceiver intermittently monitors the presence of a signal.
Page 73 NXDN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM NXDN is a generic name for a digital communication system protocol utilizing 4-level FSK. Using NXDN, the transceiver can initiate an Individual Call or Group Call for voice calls, communicate messages using statuses, or send GPS data. In an NXDN Conventional system, communications are realized by sending and receiving digital signals on an NXDN digital channel.
Page 74 8 NXDN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 8.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) Receiving Received audio sounds from the speaker if the transceiver receives digital signals, and the frequency matches the frequency of the channel on which the transceiver has waited for or the NXDN ID matches the NXDN ID preconfigured for the transceiver.
Page 75 • The received Unit ID Name is different from the ID configured in the Unit ID List or the ID Name stored in the transceiver. • NX-240/ 240V/ 340/ 340U/ 740H/ 740HV/ 840H/ 840HU does not support the function to display the ID Name.
