Abstract

In a radio equipment which establishes synchronism with a radio signal by detecting a synchronizing signal included in the radio signal and performs intermittent reception of the radio signal until the synchronizing signal is detected, an ON time for a radio section is set longer than a transmission cycle of the synchronizing signal when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is possible. On the other hand, when the radio equipment is provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible, the ON time for the radio section is set shorter. After setting the ON time for the radio section shorter, the ON time for the radio section is further set shorter if the radio equipment is still provided at a position where reception of the radio signal is impossible.
