3.15 Transmitter ECO mode
When using alkaline D-Cells in Tx-5 and Tx-10 transmitter
models you can extend the effective use of the batteries

output power.
When ECO mode is active and the power output has
been reduced, the display ashes between POWER and

is reduced. It will then continue emitting two beeps every
minute whilst it operates at a reduced power level.
