5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal

If you wish to disable the Wakeup feature, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select
“OFF” in step 4 above.

on the display.

while the Wakeup feature is engaged.
TX Battery Saver
The VX-3R also includes a useful Transmit Battery Saver, which will automatically lower the power output
level when the last signal received was very strong. For example, when you are in the immediate vicinity of
a repeater station, there generally is no reason to use the High Power output in order to achieve
full-quieting access to the repeater. With the Transmit Battery Saver, the automatic selection of Low Power
operation conserves battery drain significantly.
To activate the Transmit Battery Saver:
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 73: SAVETX.
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 Transmit Battery Saver).
5. When you have made your selection, press the PTT switch to save the new setting and exit to normal
operation.
Disabling the BUSY Indicator
Further battery conservation may be accomplished by disabling the BUSY indicator while receiving a signal.
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 16: BSY.LED.
