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 set-
ting your VXA-710’s TOT function to time out at one
minute.
Programming the Key Assignments
The key is a user-programmable key that may be set
up for a pair of functions you use particularly frequently.
The default key functions, as set up at the factory,
have been assigned to the ANL feature (press key) and to
the “Large Font” feature (press and hold key) at the fac-
tory. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to
utilize another function or functions.
To program the function assigned to a key:
Press the key, then press the key to activate
the Menu (“SET”) mode.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select Menu Item
“5. Key Set,” then press the key.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select Sub Menu
Item “3. USER 1” (for the “press key” function) or
“4. USER 2” (for the “press and hold key” function),
then press the key.
Press the key again to enable adjustment of this
Menu Item.
Rotate the DIAL selector knob to select the function
you wish to assign to the button you selected in the
previous step. The available choices are:
