Battery Saver; Power Switch Status Memory; Mic Ptt - Kenwood TK-3180 Function Reference

1.13 Battery Saver

(TK-2180/ 3180 only)
This function allows the transceiver to receive
intermittently in order to reduce power consumption.
The transceiver receives intermittently in the following
conditions.
•
There is no carrier.
• When no key is pressed for more than 5 seconds
while there is a carrier and the QT/DQT does not
match.
You can save the battery consumption by extending the
Battery Saver time. However, you may miss hearing the
beginning of the received call if you extend this duration.
You may have to extend the duration between the time
when the transceiver transmits and the time you start
communicating with the receiving party.
You can configure the Battery Saver function using KPG-
89D. Following is the list of the interval for the transceiver
to receive intermittently.

1 BASIC FUNCTION
Operation
The transceiver is turned ON when
connecting the power connector after
removing it while the transceiver was turned
ON.
The transceiver remains turned OFF when
connecting the power connector after
removing it while the transceiver was turned
OFF. In this case, you must press the
Power switch to turn the transceiver ON.
The transceiver is turned ON when
connecting the power connector regardless
of the transceiver's condition.
Operation
You can select the Modulation line to be
activated for the Mic PTT. Below is a list of
the modulation lines. Normally, only the Mic
line is modulated.
•
Mic line (the sound of the Mic located on
the front of the transceiver)
•
MI2 Line (the sound modulation of the D-
sub connector located on the rear of the
transceiver)
•
DI Line (the data modulation of the D-sub
connector)
You can configure the QT/DQT configured
to the Conventional Group channel to be
overwritten when receiving with the Mic
PTT. Normally, you can configure the QT/
DQT to be overwritten.
You can configure the STE (Squelch Tail
Eliminator) to be transmitted after
transmitting the QT/DQT code configured in
the Conventional Group channel. Normally,
you can configure the STE to be
transmitted.
