Receive Battery Saver Setup - Vertex Standard Spirit VXA-700 Operating Manual

Receive Battery Saver Setup

An important feature of the VXA-700 is its Receive Bat-
tery Saver, which "puts the radio to sleep" for a time inter-
val, periodically "waking it up" to check for activity. If
somebody is talking on the channel, the VXA-700 will
remain in the "active" mode, then resume its "sleep" cycles.

and you may change the amount of "sleep" time between
activity checks using the Menu System:

key, then press the
the Menu ("SET") mode.

r Press the
key again to enable adjustment of this
Menu Item.
r Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired
"duty cycle" (receive:sleep). The selections available
are 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, and ABS* or oFF. The
default value is 1:1.
r When you have made your selection, press the
key to save the new setting, then press the PTT key
repetitively until the radio exits to normal operation.
