of the VX-120/170's DIAL and keypad may be locked out. The possible lockout combinations
are:
LK KEY: Just the front panel keypad is locked out

LK K+D: Both the keypad and DIAL are locked out (factory default)
LK PTT: The PTT switch is locked out (TX not possible)
LK P+K: Both the PTT switch and keypad are locked out

LK ALL: All of the above are locked out
To lock out some or all of the keys:

Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 26: LOCK.
3.

To activate the locking feature, (1) press and hold in the [6(LOCK)] key for one second, or (2)

Keypad/LCD Illumination
Your VX-120/170 includes a reddish illumination lamp which aids in nighttime operation. The
reddish illumination yields clear viewing of the display in a dark environment, with minimal
degradation of your night vision.
Three options for activating the lamp are provided:
KEY Mode: Illuminates the Keypad/LCD lamp for five seconds when you rotate the DIAL
knob or press the keypad or any switch (except PTT switch). This is the factory-programmed
default setting.
CONT Mode: Illuminates the Keypad/LCD lamp continuously.
OFF Mode: Disables the Keypad/LCD lamp.
Here is the procedure for setting up the Lamp operating mode:
1.
Press the [F/W] key, then press the [(0)SET] key to enter the Set mode.
2.
Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 25: LAMP.
