OPERATION

Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many features of the VX-177. 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

Be sure the Battery Pack is installed, and that the battery is fully charged. Connect the antenna to the top panel ANTENNA jack.

Rotate the top panel’s VOL/PWR knob (inner knob)

out of the click-stop to turn on the radio. The current DC supply voltage will be indicated on the display for 2 seconds. After this 2 second interval, the display will resume its normal indication of the operating frequency.

To turn the radio off, turn the VOL/PWR knob fully

counter-clockwise into the click stop position.

ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL

Rotate the VOL/PWR knob (inner knob) to adjust the re- ceiver level for a comfortable listing level, using the back- ground noise as a reference. Clockwise rotation increases the volume level.
