LOCK Function

The lock function prevents accidental changes to the frequency setting and the keypad

controls.

To activate the lock feature, press [F]

In the LOCK mode, the "KEY LOCK" icon will appear on the display.

To turn the lock feature off, press [F]

You can still access the 121.500 MHz Emergency Frequency when the LOCK

function is on.

Simply press the [121.5(HM)] key momentarily (this key never locks). Pressing this

key also unlocks the radio.

Beep On/Off

The VXA-700's key/button beeper provides convenient audible feedback whenever a

button is pressed. Each key and button has a different beep pitch, and each function has

a unique beep combination.

When you are scanning, the beeper will be heard each time the scanner halts on a busy

channel. This may be distracting in some environments; if you want to turn the beeper

off (or back on again):

Press and hold the [8(BP)] key for 3 seconds. This instantly recalls Menu Item

"Beeper."

Press the [SEL(SET)] key to enable adjustment of this Menu Item.

Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired selection.

On: Sounds a keypad beeper corresponding to a musical note.

DTMF: Sounds a keypad beeper corresponding to a DTMF tone.

Off: Keypad beeper is "off"

When you have made your selection, press the [SEL(SET)] key to save the new

setting, then press the PTT key repetitively until the radio exit to normal

operation.

Receive Battery Saver Setup

An important feature of the VXA-700 is its Receive Battery Saver, which "puts the radio

to sleep" for a time interval, periodically "waking it up" to check for activity. If somebody

is talking on the channel, the VXA-700 will remain in the "active" mode, then resume its

"sleep" cycles. This feature significantly reduces quiescent battery drain, and you may

change the amount of "sleep" time between activity checks using the Menu System:

[USER(LOCK)].

[USER(LOCK)] again.
