A battery-powered selective call transceiver (20), operating in two-way communication with an RF communication system (10), can be put in a power saving state. A user control (62) on the transceiver (20) allows a user to select the duration of a power saving interval. The transceiver (20) sends to the communication system (10) a signal requesting that the transceiver enter a power saving state for the selected interval. Upon receipt of an acknowledgment signal from the system, the transceiver enters the power saving state. |
