VX-3R Operating Manual
selections are 1 - 30 minutes (0.5 minute/step).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
R.F. Says:
1) When your transmission time is within 10 seconds of the Time-Out Timer expiration, an Alert
bell will provide an audible warning from the speaker.
2) Since brief transmissions are the mark of a good operator, try setting up your radio’s TOT feature for a
maximum transmission time of one minute. This will significantly improve battery life, too!
Automatic Power-On Feature
The VX-3R also includes the capability to turn itself on after a programmed time interval.
1. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 58: ON TMR.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired time period after which the radio will automatically turn on.
Note that this is not the time of day when the radio will turn on; it is the number of hours and minutes
until the radio turns on. The available selections are 10 minutes - 24 hours (10 minute/step).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
When the radio is turned off, this activates the Automatic Power-On feature; a count-down timer in the
display will show the time remaining until automatic switch-on.
You may cancel the Automatic Power-On feature (to turn off the radio) by pressing and holding the POWER
switch for one second while the Automatic Power-On feature is engaged.
R.F. Says: The Automatic Power-On feature will be ignored if the Wakeup feature is activated.
Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO)
The BCLO feature prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break
through the “noise” squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes
may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio
may be muted by its own Tone Decoder). The default setting for the BCLO is OFF, and here is how to
change that setting:
1. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 8: BCLO.
Note: Do not forget to pull the DIAL knob to rotate the DIAL knob.
3. Press the [TXPO] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to “ON” (thus activating the BCLO feature).
