TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Working with Channel Profiles 107
Configuring Power Saving
For each channel profile, you can configure three power saving modes:
Normal, Sleep, and Deep Sleep. The configuration will be applied to channels
with the profile you are working on.
Note: Sleep and Deep Sleep modes are only available if the base
station has a Power Saving Modes license and is operating on battery
power.
To configure power saving
1. Open the Add or Edit Channel Profile dialog box for the profile whose
power saving you want to configure.
2. Select the Power Saving tab.
3. For each power saving mode, follow these steps:
a. Select the check box to enable the mode (Sleep and Deep Sleep only).
b. In the Rx cycling box, select a time from the drop-down list. This spec-
ifies how long the receiver is turned off before being turned on again. If
you select ‘No cycling’, there is no receiver power saving in this mode.
c. In the Tx keyup box, select a time from the drop-down list. This spec-
ifies the amount of time that the transmitter will need to key up. The
longer the time, the more circuitry can be switched off. (In Sleep and
Deep Sleep modes, the Tx keyup time is fixed.)
d. In the Start after box, specify a length of time. When the base station
has been idle for this length of time, it switches from Normal to Sleep
mode, or from Sleep to Deep Sleep mode. ‘Idle’ means not operating as
a talk through repeater or line-connected base station. A base station still
counts as idle, even if it makes scheduled CWID transmissions or trans-
missions using the front panel microphone.
4. If desired, use the Task Manager action Disable Power Saving to disable
power saving when it is not needed. For example:
IF Battery voltage low THEN Enable power saving
IF NOT Battery voltage low THEN Disable power saving
