VX-3R OPERATING MANUAL 65
AUTOMATIC LAMP ILLUMINATION ON SCAN STOP
The VX-3R 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 “
ONON
ONON
ON”).
The procedure for disabling the Scan Lamp is:
1. Press and hold in the
