Does 'close-call only' mode use more juice than scanning (only)?

Today, I went to a facility, turned on cc only, got a hit (alert in earphone), heard a brief message.

When I got home about an hour and a half later, the unit was powered-off. The batteries (Uniden) had been charged for the first time and this was the first use. Upon restart, the unit would power-off shortly.

Is it the function or the batteries? My Duracells seem to last a long time. I am now recharging them and will evaluate their cycle time.

Also, I don't seem to be able to locate the 'found frequencies' folder. Max auto-store was enabled. I guess the batteries could have cut out before the group was created. Is it necessary to 'enable' auto-store each time one enters close-call?

Any ideas?

I assume your talking about the bcd396D
in close call only it will not store any freq. found, you must use CC auto store and it will store it in Close Call
