VX-8R OPERATING MANUAL 71
AUTOMATIC LAMP ILLUMINATION ON SCAN STOP
The VX-8R will automatically illuminate the LCD Lamp whenever the scanner stops on a
signal; this allows you to see the frequency of the incoming signal better at night. Note
that this will, of course, increase battery consumption, so be sure to switch it off during the
day (the default condition for this feature is “ON”).
The procedure for disabling the Scan Lamp is:
1. Press and hold the key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item

BAND EDGE BEEPER
The VX-8R will automatically “beep” when a band edge is encountered during scanning
(either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may enable this feature
(band edge beeper) when the frequency reaches the band edge while selecting the VFO
frequency by the DIAL knob.
The procedure for enabling the Band-Edge Beeper is:
1. Press and hold the key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
