Speed To set CPU running speed. There are five speeds available: Full speed, 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed, 1/8 speed and 1/16 speed; which need about 39mA, 22mA, 12mA, 7mA and 5mA, respectively, during normal operation (without scanning or data transmission). If high-speed operation is not required, selecting low CPU speed will save battery power.
