Memory System Operation
The
VXA-710
’s Main Memory system allows the user to
store, label, and recall channel frequencies which you may
want to use frequently. You may store VFO frequencies,
“Book” Memory frequencies, and/or Weather Channel fre-
quencies (USA version only) into the Main Memory sys-
tem.
Memory Storage
Select the desired frequency in the VFO mode, or re-
call the “Book” Memory channel or Weather channel
to be stored in the Main Memory.
Press and hold in the
key for 2 seconds. The dis-
play will indicate “
MW
” and a channel number will
blink on the LCD.
Within five seconds of pressing the
key, rotate the
DIAL
selector knob to select the desired memory chan-
nel number for storage. In order to prevent writing
over memory channels, an “
” icon will appear at
the right of the channel number to indicate if the
memory channel is vacant.
Now press and hold in the
key for 2 seconds; you
will now see the blinking “
A
” character on the LCD.
To attach an alpha/numeric name (label) to the
memory, proceed to the next step; otherwise press and
hold in the
key for 2 seconds to save the entry and
exit.
To label a memory with an alpha/numeric name, the
next step is to use the
DIAL
selector knob to select
any of the 125 available characters (including letters,
numbers, and special symbols). Press the
key re-
peatedly to recall the desired letter, number, and sym-
bol in the first charactor slot (
