Enabling The Standby State Low Power Consumption; Controlling The Cooling Fan While In The Standby State - Kenwood TS-990S Instruction Manual

4 BASIC OPERATIONS
ENABLING THE STANDBY STATE LOW POWER
CONSUMPTION
If Standby State Lower Power Consumption is enabled,
the power consumption while the transceiver is in the
standby state can be reduced to below 0.5 W; however, it
may take longer time to start up compared with the same
for the normal operation.
1 Press [ADV.] (F) from the Menu screen to open the
Advanced Menu screen.
2 Access Menu 22, "Standby State Low Power
Consumption".
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "On" or "Off".
The default is "Off" (K-type) (disabling the Standby State
Low Power Consumption) and "On" (E-type). Selecting "On"
reduces the power consumption to 0.5 W during the standby
state; however, it takes 40 seconds to start up.

Note:
◆ If Standby State Low Power Consumption is enabled, the
transceiver cannot accept a PC command. To start up the
transceiver using a PC, be sure to disable, in Advanced Menu 22,
the Standby State Low Power Consumption.
◆ 20 W Standby Electricity is consumed even after the transceiver
power ( ) turns OFF and if "Off" has been configured in Advanced
Menu 22. Therefore, the cooling fan may run depending on the
operating temperature in order to limit the temperature increase
of the power supply unit during the standby state. If the rotation
of the cooling fan during the standby state for the power supply
unit is noticeable, you can select "On" in Advanced Menu 22 not
to increase the temperature of the power supply unit. To make
the standby state power consumption not exceed 0.5 W, you can
enable the Standby State Low Power Consumption, or press the
main power switch (I/O) on the rear panel to the "O" position to shut
down the electricity. In this case, it takes 40 seconds to start up.
CONTROLLING THE COOLING FAN WHILE IN THE
STANDBY STATE
Even after the transceiver power ( ) is turned OFF
(standby state) and the " " LED lights orange, the cooling
fan for the final unit can be activated to quickly cool down
the final unit.
1 Press [ADV.] (F) from the Menu screen to open the
Advanced Menu screen.
2 Access Menu 23, "Cooling Fan Control after
Shutdown".
3 Press [SELECT] (F4) to allow editing of the parameter
box.
4 Press [-] (F4) or [+] (F5) to select "On" or "Off".
The default is "Off" (not activating the cooling fan after the
( )
transceiver power turns OFF). Selecting "On" allows the
cooling fan to run even while the transceiver power
OFF.
5 Press [ ] (F1).
6 Press [MENU] to exit.
Note:
◆ The cooling fan automatically stops when the temperature of the
transceiver has decreased.
◆ If you select "Off" from Menu 22, "Standby State Low Power
Consumption", in the Advanced Menu screen, the cooling fan will
be reactivated due to any increase in the internal temperature of
the transceiver, even after the cooling fan has completely stopped.
◆ Standby electricity is consumed even after the transceiver
power ( ) has turned OFF. This causes the cooling fan to run
unexpectedly.
