7.2 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. In an Analog Conventional system, if a key has not
been pressed for 5 sec or more while a carrier is detected, but the received QT tone or DQT code does not match the
preconfigured value for the transceiver, the transceiver intermittently monitors the presence of a signal.
When Battery Saver is activated, the transceiver behaves as follows.
Analog Conventional:
• The transceiver checks the presence of a carrier at 800-ms intervals.
• The transceiver checks whether the received Optional Signaling (DTMF/ FleetSync/ 2-tone) and QT tone or DQT
code match the Optional Signaling and QT tone or DQT code preconfigured for the transceiver at 200-ms
intervals.
NXDN Conventional:
• The transceiver checks the presence of a carrier or a frame synchronization word at 200-ms intervals regardless
of the configuration for Optional Signaling.
Note
Battery Saver is not activated while the transceiver is scanning.
