VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL12
Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many
features of the VX-7R. I know you’re anxious to get on the air, but I encour-
age 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 the battery
is fully charged. Connect the antenna to the top panel
ANTENNA jack.
2. Press and hold in the
(
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, and the open-
ing message will appear on the display, then frequency
display will appear. After another two seconds, the receive-mode Battery Saver func-
tion will become active, unless you have disabled it (see page 40).
3. To turn the VX-7R off, press and hold in the
(
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 24, which tells you
how to reactivate the Beeper.
