Make sure the keypad is unlocked, and press the [ M/V ( SET ) ] button, if necessary, to select the VFO mode. You have several ways to tune the VX-110: in selectable channel steps or 1 MHz steps with the [ ] / [ ] keys; and the DIAL knob.
EPEATER PERATION The ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) feature in the VX-110 provides repeater shift of the transmit frequency whenever you are tuned to a standard repeater subband (see diagram below). When enabled, a small “–” or “+” will be displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the display, signifying that repeater shift is active, and closing the push-to-talk switch changes the display to the (shifted) transmit frequency.
EYBOARD OCKING In order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, various as- pects of the VX-110’s keys and switches may be locked out. The possible lockout combi- nations are: Just the front panel keys are locked out : Just the top panel DIAL is locked out...
AVER ETUP An important feature of the VX-110 is its Receive Battery Saver, which “puts the radio to sleep” for a time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check for activity. This feature significantly reduces quiescent battery drain, and you may change the amount of “sleep”...

” appears, this means that the Tone SQuelch system is active, which mutes your VX-110’s receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet until a spe- cific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas.

The procedure for disabling the Scan Lamp is: Press the [ F ] key, then press the [ M/V ( SET ) ] key, to enter the Set mode.
Scanning EEPER The VX-110 will automatically “beep” when a band edge is encountered during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning). You may disable this feature, if it is annoying, without disabling the keypad beeper (the default condition for this feature is “ON”.
HANNEL CANNING ATCH The VX-110 scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a VFO or Memory channel, while periodically checking a user-select- able Priority Channel for activity.
