PASSWORD

The VX-177provides a security password feature which can minimize the chance that your transceiver could be used by an unauthorized party.

When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for the four digit password to be entered when the radio is first turned on. You must enter the four

digit password from the keypad. If the wrong password is entered, the microprocessor will shut down the radio automatically.

To enter the password , use the following procedure:

1. Press the [F] key, then press the [0(SET)] key to enter the Set mode.

2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 31: PSWD W.

3. Press the [F] key momentarily to display any previously-stored password.

4. Press the [F] key again to clear any previous password.

5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first digit of the desired num- ber/letter (0-9, A, B, C, D, E (substitute for “￿”), and F (substi-

tute for “#”).

6. Press the [F] key to move to the next digit. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to program the remaining numbers/letters

of the desired password. 8. If you make a mistake, press the [￿(MHz)] key to move back to

the previous digit, then re-select the correct number/letter. 9. If your password is made up of numbers only, you may enter

your password directly from the keypad. For example, to enter the “1234” as your password, press [1] ￿ [2] ￿ [3] ￿ [4].

10.When you have finished entering the password, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

We recommend that you to write down the password number, and keep it in a safe place you can easily find if you forget your password.

To Activate the Password feature:

3. Press the [F] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Item. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “PWD. ON.” 5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to

save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 6. If you wish to disable the Password feature, just repeat the above

procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select “PWD.OFF” in step 4 above.
