10. To install the belt clip, position the belt clip on the back of
receiver. Turn the belt clip 180˚ left or right to secure the clip.
The receiver can now be clipped onto a belt. To remove,
turn the belt clip 180˚ so the open end of the clip points up,
and gently pull the belt clip off. (FIG. E).
11. After 6 minutes with no RF signal, the receiver will go
into a power-saving sleep mode. At any time during sleep
mode, if the receiver nds signal on the current channel,
it will wake up. After 2 hours with no RF signal, the unit
will power off completely. During sleep mode the receiver
consumes about 80% less power.
12. When the receiver is not being used, turn the unit OFF by
pressing and holding the power button for three seconds
(Fig. B). The power button light will go off.
