Audiovox FR-314 Two-Way Radio User Manual


 
Transmission Power level
The FR-314 transceiver has two available transmit power levels.
The high power transmits signals at the regulated limit of 500 milli-
watts. The low power level transmits at 200 milliwatts. When using
the FR-314 to communicate with other transceivers at close range,
it is possible to increase its battery life, by setting its transmission
power level to the low setting. Maximum range communication will
require the higher setting. To adjust the setting, simply press the up
or down button momentarily while transmitting. The FRS Radio icon
on the display will show a short antenna in low power mode and a
long antenna in high power mode.

Battery Save Mode
The FR-314 will automatically switch to battery save mode
if no buttons are pressed and no signals are received for 6
seconds. While the battery save mode is active, the trans-
ceiver will remain ready to transmit or receive signals and the heart
icon will flash on the display. This mode dramatically increases the
life of the FR-314’s batteries. The battery save mode will not func-
tion when the squelch is bypassed or adjusted to the zero setting.
