3.12 Power Saving
Your PMR unit has special circuitry designed to extend the life of your
battery. When the unit is not used for 4 seconds, it will automatically
switch into a low power mode. The Power saving feature does not affect
the PMR ability to receive transmissions. When a signal is detected,
it automatically returns to full power mode
3.13 Low Battery Meter Indicator
The PMR can detect the low battery level when the battery voltage
goes low. When the battery voltage is at a low level, the empty battery
symbol will appear and start to blink.
The battery icon will continue to blink until the battery is totally drained.
Note: To have good communication, when the battery is at a low level,
recharge or replace the batteries with new ones.
3.14 Microphone/Earphone/Charger Jack
The Latitude 250 is equipped with an auxilliary microphone, earphone,
and charge jack located at the opposite side to the PTT button.
Note: It requires a microphone/earphone with a 2.5mm, jack connector
and this is not supplied with your Latitude 250.
3.15
Using a Hands free kit (Headset)
You can plug a hands free kit into the right
side of your Latitude 250 handset.
With a headset connected, you still need to
press the PTT button to transmit and talk
with other radios.
