VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL 13
Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many
features of the VX-8GR/GE. 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!
SWITCHING POWER ON AND OFF
1. Be sure the battery pack is installed, and that it is fully charged. Connect the antenna
to the top panel ANTENNA jack.
2. Press and hold in the p
(
PWR
)
switch (on the left side
of the front panel) for 2 seconds. Two beeps will be heard
when the switch has been held long enough. The open-
ing message will appear briefly on the display, then the
frequency display will appear. After another two sec-
onds, the receive-mode Battery Saver function will be-
come active, unless you have disabled it (see page 112).
3. To turn the VX-8GR/GE off, press and hold in the p
(
PWR
)
switch again for 2
seconds.
If you don’t hear the two “Beep” tones when the radio comes on, the Beeper
may have been disabled via the Menu system. See page 22, which tells you
how to reactivate the Beeper.
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME LEVEL
Rotate the DIAL knob while pressing and holding the g
key to set the desired audio level. Clockwise rotation in-
creases the volume level.
1) The Volume level may be set on the
“A-Band” and “B-Band” separately.
2) While adjusting the Audio volume level, the
“SP VOLUME” notation appears in the S- & PO meter
area.
3) Pressing the f key followed by the g key, the DIAL knob function changes to the
Volume Level adjustment instead of the frequency control. In this case, the “Volume
Level Indicator” on the display blinks. Pressing the f key followed by the g key
again, returns the DIAL knob function to the frequency control. You may also change
the g key function via Set Mode Item 99: VOLUME MODE. See page 120 for details.
