Aurora User’s Manual
BATTERY POWER
Battery Saver
The Aurora radio has a battery-saver
feature that your dealer can program on
a per radio basis. If enabled, the radio
performs the battery-saver function
when receiving channels without
receive-ANIs whenever in manual mode
and priority operation is turned off.
The battery-saver function cycles the
power to the RF, audio, and CPU
hardware, temporarily powering down
the hardware when the channel is not
busy. The Aurora radio has three low-
battery thresholds to let your radio run
as long as possible before shutting
down.
Low Battery
First Battery Threshold
The Aurora radio has a first battery
threshold level, which causes the radio
to transmit all channels using low
power, regardless of the transmit power
setting for that channel. You will see the
low-battery display icon [ ] once the
battery voltage of the radio goes below
this threshold level.
At the first low-battery threshold, only
the low-power transmit icon [ ] is lit
regardless of the programmed transmit
