The VX-7R includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have
someone monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s UHF “Home” channel.
See page ?? for details on setting the Home channel.
The “Emergency” feature is activated by pressing the [HM/RV(EMG)] key for 2
seconds.
When this is done, the radio (A) is placed on the UHF amateur band Home channel,
(B) emits a loud “Alarm” sound (the volume is controlled by the VOLUME knob), (C)
flash the I-Beam by various color, and (D) if you press the PTT key, this alarm sound
will be transmitted.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, turn the radio by press and holding in the [PWR]
switch for 2 seconds.
Use this feature if you are out for a walk and want a quick way of alerting a family
member as to a dangerous situation. The alarm sound may discourage an attacker and
allow you to escape.
