BEFORE YOU BEGIN Precautions This apparatus is capable of two-way communication on channels used for critical aviation safety communications. Therefore, it is important that this radio be kept away from children or other unauthorized users at all times. When making DC connections via the (optional) EDC-5B DC cable, be absolutely certain to observe the proper voltage level and polarity guidelines. Do not connect this radio directly to any 24 ~ 28 Volt DC source, nor to AC power of any kind.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation of FNB-80LI Battery Pack Battery Charging The FNB-80LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a very compact package. Under normal use, the FNB-80LI may be used for approximately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery pack which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace the pack with a new one.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Installation of FBA-23 Alkaline Battery Case (Option) The optional FBA-23 Battery Case allows receive monitoring using two “AA” size Alkaline batteries. To Install Alkaline Batteries into the FBA-23 Slide the batteries into the FBA-23 as shown in the illustration, with the Negative [–] side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the FBA-23. Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio. .
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Low Battery Indication As you battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When the “ ” begins blinking on the LCD display, the battery pack must be recharged before further use. Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the “Low Battery” indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-Ion battery pack.
BASIC OPERATION 12 Preliminary Steps Operation Quick Start Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. Never operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. If you have an optional Speaker/Microphone or headset. we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the VXA-710. To turn the radio on, press and hold in the (PWR) Switch for 3 seconds.
BASIC OPERATION To set 118.275 MHz, you do not need to press the final “5” in the frequency: . Note: When the entered frequency is outside of the current operating band, the entry is ignored (i.e. VXA710 does not permit entry of an FM BC band frequency while operating in the AIR band). You may also turn the top panel’s DIAL selector knob to choose the desired operating frequency. The channel frequency will appear on the LCD.
BASIC OPERATION Accessing the 121.5 MHz Emergency Frequency The VXA-710 can quickly access the 121.500 MHz Emergency Frequency. This function can be activated even when the keypad lock function is in use. To access the Emergency Frequency, press the key momentarily. To exit the Emergency Frequency, press the key momentarily. 14 Tuning Methods Throughout this manual, you will see references to several different frequency setting methods.
BASIC OPERATION BOOK (Pre-Programmed) Memories The Book memories are pre-programmed, either at the factory or by your Dealer (depending on your country’s requirements), typically including the major AIR band station frequencies used in your area. The Book memories can be changed by the user. See page 44 for details. WX (Weather Channel) Memories (USA version only) Ten Weather Channels are pre-programmed at the factory. The VXA710 will automatically scan this special bank when it is selected by the user.
BASIC OPERATION Reception of Weather Channel Broadcasts (USA version only) The VXA-710 can receive VHF Weather Channel broadcasts, which may assist your flight planning. The VXA710 includes a ten-channel auto-search feature, which simplifies access to Weather Channels when you are in an unfamiliar location. To receive Weather Channels, press the key (repeatedly, if necessary) to select the Weather Channel mode. In the Weather Channel mode, “WX” will appear upper left corner of the display.
BASIC OPERATION Monitor Key ANL (Automatic Noise Limiter) Feature When listening to a very weak signal from an aircraft or ground station, you may observe the signal disappearing periodically as the incoming signal strength becomes too weak to override the squelch threshold setting. For reduction of impulse noise, such as that produced by an engine’s ignition system, the ANL feature may prove helpful.
BASIC OPERATION LOCK Function Beep On/Off The lock function prevents accidental changes to the frequency setting and the keypad controls. The VXA-710’s key/button beeper provides convenient audible feedback whenever a button is pressed. Each key and button has a different beep pitch, and each function has a unique beep combination. To activate the lock feature, press the key followed by the key. In the LOCK mode, the “ ” icon will appear on the display.
BASIC OPERATION Receive Battery Saver Setup An important feature of the VXA-710 is its Receive Battery Saver, which “puts the radio to sleep” for a time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check for activity. If somebody is talking on the channel, the VXA-710 will remain in the “active” mode, then resume its “sleep” cycles.
MEMORY OPERATION The VXA-710 provides 70 user-programmable Main memories, labeled “MR1” through “MR68”, “MRLch,” and “MRUch,” up to 90 pre-programmed memories, designated “Book” Memories, labeled “BMR1” through “BMR90,” and one Home channel, allowing storage and quick recall of favorite operating frequency. The Main memories and “Book” Memories can be assigned alpha-numeric names of up to eight characters.
MEMORY OPERATION Recalling the Memories Memory Offset Tuning Press the key, repeatedly if necessary, until “MR” (Memory Recall) appears on the display. In the MR mode, you will see the previously-selected channel number appearing at the bottom of the “MR” icon on the LCD. Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired memory channel.
MEMORY OPERATION Deleting Memories With the VXA-710 in the Memory mode, rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the memory channel you wish to delete. Press the key, then press and hold the key for 2 seconds. The previously-selected memory will be deleted. Note: Once deleted, channel data cannot be recovered! Home Channel Memory A special “HOME” channel is available, to allow quick recall of a favorite operating frequency.
SCANNING OPERATION Basic Scan The VXA-710 allows you to scan automatically in the VFO*1, Main Memory, “Book” Memory, Weather Channel*2 or BRS Memory modes. It pauses on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like. *1: In the VFO mode, the automatic scanner is only available in the current operating band (AIR band or FM BC band). Furthermore, on the AIR band, the automatic scanner is only available in the COM band (118.000 136.
SCANNING OPERATION Channel-Skip Scanning Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast stations inhibit scanner operation. Since these stations are always active, the scanner will be halted repeatedly on their channels. Such channels can be set to be “Skipped” during Memory scanning (MR, Book, WX, or BRS modes), if you like, so as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning: Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
DUAL WATCH OPERATION The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for activity on a “Priority” channel* while you are operating on another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the current channel and the Priority channel will each be polled for a 500 ms interval, as the VXA-710 looks for activity on each channel. To start Dual Watch, press the key followed by the key. The “DW” icon will appear on the display.
PRIORITY DUAL WATCH OPERATION Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on previous page), Priority Dual Watch is an enhanced version which includes the following additional features: The receiving time interval (ratio) between the current channel and the Priority channel may be customized via the Menu Item “PRI Time.” See page 51 for details. Irrespective of which channel is currently being received, when the PTT button is pushed transmission will always occur on the Priority channel.
SPECTRUM SCOPE MONITOR If you assign the Spectrum Scope Monitor feature to the key (see page 40), you may view operating activity on channels above and below the current operating channel while operating in the VFO, Memory Tune, and PMS modes. The display indicates the relative signal strength on channels immediately adjacent to the current operating frequency. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the key, if necessary. Press (or press and hold in) the key to activate the Spectrum Scope Monitor.

VOR NAVIGATION (AIR BAND) To Select the VOR Mode When entering the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz), the VXA-710 selects the VOR mode automatically. The “Course Indicator” will appear on the display, and the “TO” or “FROM” indicator will appear at the right of the “Course Indicator” on the display. Note: The “COURSE INDICATOR” indicates “---°” when either your aircraft is too far away from the VOR station or if the frequency is not correctly set to that of the VOR station.
VOR NAVIGATION (AIR BAND) Flying to a VOR Station The Aircraft is “ON COURSE” The VXA-710 can indicate the deviation from the direct course to a VOR station. Select a VOR station on your aeronautical chart and turn the DIAL selector knob (or enter the frequency directly with the keypad) to the frequency of the VOR station. To indicate the deviation between your current flight path and the desired course, press the key folkey to change to the CDI (Course lowed by the Deviation Indicator) mode.

VOR NAVIGATION (AIR BAND) Entering a Desired Course The VXA-710 can also be configured to indicate the deviation from the desired course, not only the deviation from the path to the VOR station. Set the frequency to the desired VOR station. Change the “TO” or “FROM” indication to “TO,” if it is not in that mode already. Press the key followed by the key to change to the CDI mode. Set the desired course to the VOR station using the DIAL selector knob or keypad (three-digit input; e.g.
VOR NAVIGATION (AIR BAND) Position Cross-checking Select two VOR stations on your aeronautical chart. Set the frequency of one of the VOR stations in the VOR mode. The course indicator will show the course deviation from the VOR radial. Note the radial you currently are on. Now set the frequency of the other VOR station in the VOR mode. Note the radial from the station you are on. Extend the radials from each VOR station on the chart. Your aircraft is located at the point where the lines intersect.
VOR NAVIGATION (AIR BAND) Split Operation The split operation feature allows you to transmit a call to a Flight Service Station using the COM band frequencies, while receiving a VOR station (in the NAV band). VOR stations equipped with this capability typically are shown, on navigation charts, with the voice calling frequency in parenthesis above the navigation frequency. Press the key, repeatedly if necessary, to select the VFO mode. Set the desired VOR station’s frequencies in the NAV band (108.
BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATION Recalling the BRS Channels Press the key, repeatedly if necessary, until “BRS” (Business Radio Service) appears on the display. In the BRS mode, you will see the previously-selected channel number appearing at the bottom of the “BRS” icon on the LCD. Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the desired BRS channel. You may engage a CTCSS/DCS “Decoder” temporarily during BRS operation.
BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATION 36 while operating in congested areas. Note: You may notice an additional “DCS” icon appearing while you rotate the DIAL selector knob in this step. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS Tone Mode, press the key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL selector knob one click clockwise to select Menu Item (TONE Set). This Menu selection allows setting of the CCTCSS Tone Frequency to be used.
BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATION DCS Operation Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS Decoder. The DCS Decoder is built into your VXA-710, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS Decoder. Note: Just as in CTCSS Decoder, DCS Decoder requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a “Tone” Code.
BRS (BUSINESS RADIO SERVICE) CHANNEL OPERATION CTCSS/DCS Bell Operation During CTCSS Decoder or DCS Decoder operation, you may set the VXA-710 up such that a ringing “bell” sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in.
MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS Automatic Power-Off (APO) Feature The APO feature helps conserve battery life by automatically turning the radio off after a user-defined period of time within which there has been no dial or key activity. The available selections for the time before power-off are 0.5/1/8 hours, as well as APO Off. The default condition for the APO is OFF, and here is the procedure for activating it: Press the key, then press the key to activate the Menu (“SET”) mode.
MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS Menu Item. Rotate the DIAL selector knob to set the Time-Out Timer to the desired “Maximum TX” time (1 minute, 3 minutes or 5 minutes). When you have made your selection, press the key to save the new setting, then press the PTT key repetitively until the radio exit to normal operation. Note: Because battery life is significantly enhanced by making only brief transmissions from your radio, try setting your VXA-710’s TOT function to time out at one minute.
