003OO44Memory ModeYou may wish to append an alpha-numeric "Tag" (label) to a memory or memories, to aidin recollection of the channel's use (such as a club name, etc .) . This is easily accomplishedusing the Set mode .LABELING MEMORIESRecall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label.Press the [FIW] key, then press the [BAND(SET)AR] key, to enter the Menu mode .Rotate the DIAL to select Menu #03 ("NAME SET").Press the [BAND(SET)AR] key momentarily to enable programming of the name tag.Rotate the DIAL to select the first digit of the desired label . When you have made yourselection, press the [BAND(SET)AR] key momentarily to move to the next character.Repeat the previous step to program the remaining letters , numbers, or symbols of thedesired label. A total of eight characters may be used in the creation of a label.When you have completed the creation of the label, press the PTT key to save thelabel and exit .During "MR" (Memory Recall) operation, press and hold in the [2(CD)TAG] key for onesecond to activate the alphanumeric Tag. Repeatedly pressing and holding in this key willtoggle operation between "Frequency only" display and "Frequency + Tag" display.MEMORY OFFSET TUNINGOnce you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune offthat channel,as though you were in the "VFO" mode .With the VX-5R in the "MR" (Memory Recall) mode, select the desired memory chan-nel .Now press the [MR(SKP)SC] key momentarily. The "MR" indicator will be replacedby one which says "MT" ("Memory Tuning") .Rotate the DIAL, as desired, to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps selectedfor VFO operation on the current band will be the steps used during Memory Tuning .If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the [MR(SKP)SC] keymomentarily. The "MT" indicator will be replaced by "MR" .If you wish to store a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press and hold inthe [FIW] key for one second, per normal memory storage procedure . The micropro-cessor will automatically set itself to the next-available clear memory location, andyou then press [FIW] again to lock in the new frequency.Ifyou want to replace the original memory contents with those of the newfre-^° quency, be sure to rotate the DIAL to the original memory channel number!Any required CTCSSIDCS changes, or repeater offset modifications, must bedone before storing the data into the new (or original) memory channel location.VX-5R OPERATING MANUALMASKING MEMORIESMemory Mode')[here may be situations where you want to "Mask" memories so they are not visible duringnetnory selection or scanning . For example, several memories used only in a city you visith*equently may be stored, then "Masked" until you visit that city, at which time you can"Unmask" them for normal use.0 Press the [MR(SKP)SC] key, if needed, to enter the MR mode .(2) Press and hold in the [F/W] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL to select thememory channel to be "Masked" from view .© Press the [MR(SKP)SC] key. The display will revert to memory channel # 1 . If yourotate the DIAL to the location you just "Masked," you will observe that it is nowinvisible.® To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure : press and hold in the[FIW] key for one second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory's number,then press [MR(SKP)SC] to restore the memory channel's data .Watch out! You can manually store data over a "Masked" memory, deletingprevious data, ifyou're not careful. Use the "new available memory "technique(lookfor the I ~k I icon) storage technique to avoid over-writing a masked memory.Memory Group Assignment1~ Recall the memory channel to be assigned to a Memory Group.(2 Press and hold the [FIW] key for one second, then press the numbered key ([11 - [5])you want as the Memory Group for this channel.~3 Now memory channel data is copied into the Memory Group .VX-5R OPERATING MANUALYom,MEMORY GROUP OPERATIONMemory Group Recalll~ Press the [MR(SKP)SC] key to recall the Memory mode .(22 Press [FIW] then [4(MG)DSP] to activate the "Memory Group" mode .(3 Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired MemoryGroup ("MG1" .. "MG5") .® Press the [MR(SKP)SC] key momentarily to lock inthe selected Memory Group.~5 In the Memory Group, you selects the memory chan-nel in the current memory group only (up to 24 channels).© To exit the Memory Group, press [VFO(DW)SC] then [MR(SKP)SC] to return to the(non-grouped) Memory mode .MGl 433 .500NFM45
