Preliminary Steps
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 con-
nected.
If you have an optional Speaker/Microphone or head-
set, we recommend that it not be connected until you
are familiar with the basic operation of the
VXA-300
.
Operation Quick Start
To turn the radio on
, ro-
tate the (inner)
VOL-
UME
knob out of the
click-stop.
A channel frequency
should appear on the dis-
play. If not, press down-
ward (momentarily) on
the
VOLUME
knob (re-
peatedly, if necessary) so
that “
- VFO -
” appears
on the display, followed by a channel frequency.
Directly entering frequencies from the keypad is the
easiest method if you know the frequency on which
you wish to operate. Just enter the five digits of the
frequency to move to that frequency.
