Miscellaneous Setting
Password
The VX-3R provides a password feature which can minimize the chance that your transceiver could be
used by an unauthorized party.
When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for the four digit password to be entered when
the radio is first turned on. You must enter the four digit password using the DIAL knob and [V/M] key
(pressing the [V/M] key to select the password digit and rotating the DIAL knob to select the password in
each digit). If the wrong password is entered, the microprocessor will shut down the radio automatically.
To enter the password and activating this feature, use the following procedure:
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 66: PSWD.
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. Press the [V/M] key momentarily to display any previously-stored password.
5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first digit of the desired number/letter (0-9, A, B, C, D, E (substitute
for “*,” and F (substitute for “#”).
6. Press the [V/M] key to move to the next digit.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to program the remaining numbers/letters of the desired password.
8. If you make a mistake, press the [BAND] key to move back to the previous digit, then re-select the
correct number/letter.
9. When you have finished entering the password, press the [V/M] key then rotating the DIAL knob to
select “ON” (to activate the password feature).
10. Press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
If you wish to disable the Password feature, repeat steps 1 - 3 above, then rotating the DIAL knob to select
“OFF”, then press the PTT switch.
R.F. Says: 1) We recommend that you to write down the password number, and keep it in a safe place you
can easily find if you forget your password.
2) If you forget the password number, you may turn on the transceiver by performing the “All Reset”
procedure (see page ??). However, the VX-3R will clear the password, as well as all memories, and will
restore all other settings to factory defaults.
Programming the “%” Key
In the factory default, the “primary” (press key) function of the [%] key is assigned to the internet key.
However, you may change the “primary” (press key) function of the [%] key to another function via the Set
Mode.
1. Press and hold in the [TXPO] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
