A method and a device for conserving power in a battery powered transceiver, the transceiver comprising a transmitter (10) and a receiver (11) having receiving circuits including an input high frequency stage (12), a first mixer (13), and a first local oscillator (14). A transmit control signal is obtained when a transmitter of the transceiver is transmitting, the receiving circuits are biased to full operating level as a response to the transmit control signal, and a bias control signal is generated as a function of the transmit control signal and of a received signal strength indicating signal. At least one of the receiving circuits is then biased to a second level controlled by the bias control signal the receiving circuits comprises at least one transistor (T1;T2) and a biasing resistor network. A central unit (21) is operatively connected to the resistor network of at least one of the receiving circuits for controlling the biasing level of the transistor (T1;T2).
