80 Customizing your radio
Reducing power consumption
You can reduce the power consumption of your radio
(and thereby reduce the drain on your vehicle battery) in
the following ways:
■ Transmit at low power (if your radio is not already
configured to do this).
■ Turn off backlighting when it is not required (see
“About display and keypad backlighting” on
page 78).
Turning low power transmit on or off
If you are using your radio in conditions where signal
strength is high, you can reduce the drain on your
vehicle battery by transmitting at low power.
When low power transmit is turned on, appears in
the display and calls are made at low power rather than
at the programmed power setting.
Note: Some channels may always transmit at low
power.
To turn low power transmit on or off for all channels:
1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Functions
>
Low power tx.
(Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to press a function key to turn low
power transmit on or off.)
2 Scroll to On (or Off) and press Select. (The current
setting is highlighted.)
The message Low power tx activated
(or deactivated) appears in the display.
