VX-5R OPERATING MANUAL 51
AUTOMATIC LAMP ILLUMINATION ON SCAN STOP
The VX-5R will automatically illuminate the LCD Lamp whenever the scanner stops on a
signal; this allows you to see the frequency of the incoming signal better at night. Note that
this will, of course, increase the battery consumption, so be sure to switch it off during the
day (the default condition for this feature is “ON”).
The procedure for disabling the Scan Lamp is:

Press the
[
F/W
]
key, then press the
[
BAND
(
SET
)
AR
]
key, to enter the Set mode.


Press the
[
BAND
(

AR
]
key to enable changing of this Menu item.

Rotate the DIAL to set this Menu item to OFF.

When you have made your selection, press the PTT key to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
BAND EDGE BEEPER
The VX-5R will automatically “beep” when a band edge is encountered during scanning
(either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may disable this feature,
if it is annoying, without disabling the keypad beeper (the default condition for this feature
is “ON”).
The procedure for disabling the Band-Edge Beeper is:

F/W

key, then press the
[
BAND
