ESCRIPTION OF
LAMP on/off
This feature operates differently, depending on the switch type assigned to this function.
Toggle Switch Type (Switch "A")
Move the assigned TOGGLE switch into the "ON" position to illuminate the LCD lamp
continuously. To disable the LCD lamp, return the assigned TOGGLE switch to the "OFF"
position.
Momentary Switch Type (Switch "B" or "C")
Press this switch momentarily, (I) to illuminate the LCD lamp for three seconds, after
which the lamp will automatically shut off, or (II) to illuminate the LCD lamp until you
press this switch once more (no time limit). These functions are determined via program-
ming by your Vertex Standard Dealer.
LCD Display (Tag/Frequency)
Selects the channel frequency display format between (I) the channel's frequency, or (II)
the channel's Alpha/Numeric label (name).
HAIL Function
Turn on the assigned TOGGLE switch to activate the "HAIL" feature which emits a loud
"Alarm" sound. Use this feature if you want a quick way of alerting other group members
as to a dangerous situation.
VFO/MR Select
Selects the frequency control technique between (I) the "VFO" or (II) the "Memory System."
Press the assigned TOGGLE switch momentarily to toggle frequency control be-
tween the VFO and Memory Systems.
Press and hold the assigned TOGGLE switch in the "ON" position for 1/2 second to
copy the memory channel data to the VFO. You may then rotate the SEL knob to tune
the frequency manually.
Generally, the SEL knob tunes the VFO frequency in 100 Hz steps when you are operat-
ing in the VFO mode. If you wish to tune more quickly, using larger tuning steps, press
the SEL knob downward momentarily, then rotate the SEL knob. This allows you to tune
the VFO frequency in 5 kHz steps. When the transceiver is in this "fast" tuning step
mode, the "F" character will appear on the left side of the display.
Pressing the SEL knob downward again causes the transceiver to return to its regular
tuning steps (100 Hz per step).
