[Hub features](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#hub-features) # Power Saving Feature 💡 **Power Saving feature** is a built-in battery management system that allows Plus system mics to enter Low power or Shutdown modes when they’re not in use. If a microphone is left off its charger, it won't drain its battery before your next session. ### **Where on the Hub can you find this?** This setting is managed individually for each microphone channel.  `IN -> CUBE | CLIP | STICK -> INPUT SETTINGS -> POWER SAVING``` ### **How it Works** When Power Saving is Enabled, Clip, Stick and Cube follow a specific idle timeline based on their battery capacity. Clip and Stick have an 8-hour battery life on a full charge, and they enter power saving modes quicker. **Clip & Stick mics ** - **Low-power mode:** If the mic is not moved for 30 minutes (and is not on the charger). - **Shutdown:** If the mic remains in low-power mode for an additional 2 hours without any movement.  - **Auto-shutdown (no connection):** If the Hub is turned off and the mic loses its connection for more than 15 min, the mic will turn itself off completely. #### **Cube mic** With a battery capacity of 22 hours, Cube has a longer idle period before it starts worrying about power.  - **Low-power mode:** Triggered after 2 hours of no movement (and not on the charging base).  - **Shutdown mode:** After another 2 hours (4 hours total idle time) without movement and not being on a charger.  - **Auto shutdown (no connection):** If the Hub is turned off, Cube will turn itself off completely after 15 minutes.  ### **How to *Wake Up* the Microphones** **From Low Power Mode:** You simply need to pick the mics up. Once the microphone detects movement, it will wake up automatically and be ready for use. **From Shutdown Mode:** If the microphone has shut down, movement alone will not solve it.  **Clip & Stick ** Place it on the charging dock or Press the Mute button or Press the On/Off button **Cube** Place it on the charging base or Remove the mic capsule from the soft cover (twist and pull) and press the On/Off button.  ### **Factory/Default Setting** Enabled ### **Why would you need to change this?** **Standard use (enabled):** Highly recommended. It acts as a safety net so microphones aren't found drained if forgotten somewhere. **Long duration events (disabled):** You might disable this if the mic needs to sit perfectly still somewhere for several hours but must stay live the instant it’s finally picked up.  - [Catchbox Plus System](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overview](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#overview) - [Hub DSP receiver](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#hub-dsp-receiver) - [Hub features](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#hub-features) - [Stick Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#stick-mic) - [Clip Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#clip-mic) - [Cube Mic](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#cube-mic) - [System Firmware](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/catchbox-plus-system?hsLang=en#system-firmware) - [Product Setup](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Product Setup](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-setup) - [Product Setup for Integrations](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-setup-for-integrations) - [How-to's](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#how-tos) - [Product Features](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#product-features) - [DECT Radio Protocol](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/product-setup?hsLang=en#dect-radio-protocol) - [Custom Branding](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/custom-branding?hsLang=en) - [Online Ordering & Shipping](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/online-ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to Order Plus System](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/online-ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#how-to-order-plus-system) - [Shipping](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/online-ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Billing](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/online-ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#billing) - [Warranty & Returns](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/online-ordering-shipping?hsLang=en#warranty-returns) - [Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Technical Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#technical-troubleshooting) - [Audio Quality Issues](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#audio-quality-issues) - [Mic Troubleshooting](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#mic-troubleshooting) - [Materials](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/materials?hsLang=en) - [Remote Control & Monitoring](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/remote-control-monitoring?hsLang=en) - [Beltpack Module](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/beltpack-module?hsLang=en) - [Discontinued](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Catchbox Legacy Plus](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#catchbox-legacy-plus) - [Catchbox Mod](https://help.catchbox.com/knowledge/discontinued?hsLang=en#catchbox-mod) Copyright © 2026, Catchbox SIA
