Receive Battery Saver Setup - Yaesu FTA-310 Operating Manual

Receive Battery Saver Setup

An important feature of the FTA-310 is its Receive Bat-
tery Saver, which "puts the radio to sleep" for a time
interval, periodically "waking it up" to check for activ-
ity. If somebody is talking on the channel, the FTA-310
will remain in the "active" mode, then resume its "sleep"
cycles. This feature significantly reduces quiescent bat-
tery drain, and you may change the amount of "sleep"
time between activity checks using the Menu System:
 Press the [ F ] key, then press downward on the VOL-
UME knob to activate the Menu ("SET") mode.
 Rotate the DIAL selector
knob to select Menu Item 06
"RSAV."
 P r e s s d o w n w a r d o n t h e
VOLUME knob to enable adjustment of this Menu
item.
 Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired
"duty cycle" (receive:sleep). The selections avail-
able are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and ABS
The default value is 1:1.
 When you have made your selection, press down-
ward on the VOLUME knob to save the new set-
ting, and then press the PTT key to exit to normal
operation.
