Operation; Switching Power On And Off; Adjusting The Volume Level - Yaesu VX-3R Operating Manual

PERATION
Hi! I'm R. F. Radio, and I'll be helping you along as you learn the many fea-
tures of the VX-3R. I know you're anxious to get on the air, but I encourage you
to read the "Operation" section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so
you'll get the most out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. . .let's get operating!
1. Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and that the battery is fully charged. Connect the
antenna to the top panel ANTENNA jack.
2. Press and hold in the orange POWER switch (on the left
side of the transceiver) for one second. Two beeps will be
heard when the switch has been held long enough, and the
current DC supply voltage will appear on the display for 2
seconds. If you are using the FNB-82LI Battery Pack, the
small "Lit Lit Lit" icon at the top of the display confirms that the
Lit Lit
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack has been detected. After this 2-second interval, the display
will resume its normal indication of the operating frequency.
3. To turn the VX-3R off, press and hold in the orange POWER switch again for one
second.
1) If you don't hear the two "Beep" tones when the radio comes on, the Beeper
may have been disabled via the Set Mode Item 14: BP SEL. See page 19,
which tells you how to reactivate the Beeper.
2) You can change the Opening Message (DC supply voltage indication) to any desired
message (up to 6 characters) via Set Mode Item 59: OPN.MSG; see page 115 for details.
Pull the DIAL knob to unlock the mechanical dial lock, then
rotate the DIAL knob while pressing and holding the [ VOL ] key
to set the desired audio level. Clockwise rotation increases the
volume level.
1) You may set the Audio Output Level to the
Speaker, and the Earphone Output Level individu-
ally. The "SP" notation (which means Speaker) appears in the Memory Chan-
nel Number display slot while adjusting the Speaker Output Level. The "HP" notation
(which means Headphone) appears in the Memory Channel Number display slot while
adjusting the Earphone Output Level.
2) When pressing the [F/W] key followed by the [VOL] key, the DIAL knob function
changes to the Volume Level selection instead of the frequency control. In this case, the
"VOL" notation on the display blinks. Pressing the [F/W] key followed by the [VOL] key
again, the DIAL knob function returns to the frequency control. Furthermore, you may
change the [VOL] key function via Set Mode Item 92: VOL MD. See page 101 for details.
