EXT DC Jack When an external 12-Volt DC power source is available, you may connect the (optional) E-DC-5B DC Cable w/Noise Filter or E-DC-6 DC Cable here. Do not connect any wire to this jack if that wire is connected directly to a 28-Volt DC source. Connecting the VXA-710 directly to a source which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result in damage to the unit. Before You Begin Precautions
This apparatus is capable of two-way communication on channels used for critical aviation safety communications. Therefore, it is important that this radio be kept away from children or other unauthorized users at all times.
When making DC connections via the (optional) E-DC-5B DC cable, be absolutely certain to observe the proper voltage level and polarity guidelines. Do not connect this radio directly to any 24 ~ 28 Volt DC source, nor to AC power of any kind. Connecting the VXA-710 directly to a source which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result in damage to the unit.
Do not dispose of the LI-ion Battery Pack in a fire. Do not carry a LI-ion Battery Pack in your pocket, where keys or coins could short the terminals. This could create a serious fire/burn danger, and possibly cause damage to the LI-ion pack. How to Install the Quick Draw Belt Clip
Connect the hanger to the rear of the VXA-710, with the notch pointing directly up, using the supplied screw (Figure 1). Use only the screw included with the clip to mount the clip to the back of the VXA-710!
Clip the Quick-Draw Belt Clip onto your belt (Figure 2).
To install the VXA-710 into the Quick-Draw Belt Clip, align the hanger with the Quick-
Draw Belt Clip, and slide the VXA-710 into its slot until a click is heard (Figure 3).
To remove the VXA-710 from the Quick-Draw Belt Clip, rotate the VXA-710 180 degrees, then slide the VXA-710 out from the Quick-Draw Belt Clip (Figure 4). Installation of FNB-80LI Battery Pack The FNB-80LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a very compact package. Under normal use, the FNB-80LI may be used for approximately 300 6 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery pack which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace the pack with a new one.
Install the FNB-80LI as shown in the illustration.
Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio. Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable LI-ion packs, as personal injury or damage to the LI-ion pack could occur if a cell or cells become accidentally short-circuited. Battery Charging If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the NC-72B/C Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the EXT DC jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional E-DC-5B DC Cable (w/cigarette lighter plug) or E-DC-6 DC Cable may also be used for charging the battery, as shown in the illustration. The Now Charging . . . will blink in the display while the battery is being charged. When charging is finished (approximately five hours), the display will change to indicate Complete and the BUSY/TX indicator will blink blue. Important Notes:
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the LI-ion battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the NC-72B/C, or if using a battery pack other than the FNB-80LI, follow the appropriate instructions provided with the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts about the appropriateness of the particular charger or battery pack you intend to use. Installation of FBA-23 Alkaline Battery Case (Option) The optional FBA-23 Battery Case allows receive monitoring using two AA size Alkaline batteries. To Install Alkaline Batteries into the FBA-23
Slide the batteries into the FBA-23 as shown in the illustration, with the Negative () side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the FBA-23.
Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
Install the FBA-23 into the battery compartment on the back of the transceiver, then close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio. The FBA-23 does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be re-
charged. Therefore, the NC-72B/C, E-DC-5B, or E-DC-6 may safely be connected to the EXT DC jack when the FBA-23 is installed. 7 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual Notes:
The FBA-23 is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.
If you do not use the VXA-710 for a long time, remove the Alkaline batteries from the FBA-23, as battery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-23 and/or the transceiver. Low Battery Indication
As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When the BATTERY icon will blink on the LCD display, the battery pack must be recharged before further use.
Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the Low Battery indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-Ion battery pack. Vertex Standard recommends that you carry an extra, fully-charged pack with you so you will not lose communications capability due to a depleted Li-Ion battery. This deep cycling practice will help to maintain longer overall battery life after many recharging cycles. AC Operation Using NC-72B/C (Receiving only) The VXA-710 may be operated from your house current by use of the supplied NC-72B/C Battery Charger. The NC-72B/C should only be used for reception, because it is not capable of supplying sufficient current to support transmission. To use the NC-72B/C, turn the transceiver off, then plug the miniature connector of the Battery Charger into the EXT DC jack on the side of the radio. Now plug the Battery Charger into the wall outlet. You may now turn on the transceiver. Basic Operation Preliminary Steps

*1: In the VFO mode, the automatic scanner is only available in the current operating band
(AIR band or FM BC band). Furthermore, on the AIR band, the automatic scanner is only available in the COM band (118.000 - 136.975 MHz); when the scanner reaches the uppermost frequency in the COM band, it will revert to the bottom end of the COM band and repeat the scanning process until you cancel the scanning process.
*2: USA version only. If you wish to scan in the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz), you can do so manually, as described below. Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes.
Press the [SCAN(DW)MT] key momentarily to start the automatic scanner upward
(toward a higher frequency or a higher channel number).
When the scanner encounters a signal, scanning pauses and the radio remains on that 16 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual channel until one second after the signal disappears, after which scanning will resume.
While the scanner remains paused on a frequency, the decimal point of the frequency display blinks. The display will be illuminated unless the Scan Lamp Feature is turned off.
To change the scan direction, turn the DIAL selector knob one click in the opposite direction.
To stop the automatic scanner, press the PTT switch or the [SCAN(DW)MT] key momentarily. The VXA-710s automatic scanner is not operational in the NAV band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz), because the NAV stations (ILS, etc.) transmit constantly (thereby causing the scanner to stop repeatedly). However, you can scan manually in the NAV band, per the following procedure:
Press and hold the [SCAN(DW)MT] key to start the manual scanner. Scanning will continue as long as the key is depressed.
Release the [SCAN(DW)MT] key to stop the manual scanner immediately. Note: When scanning upward in frequency, when the frequency reaches the COM Band
(118.000 - 136.975 MHz) via manual scanning, the VXA-710 will switch to the automatic scanner mode. Channel-Skip Scanning Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast stations inhibit scanner operation. Since these stations are always active, the scanner will be halted repeatedly on their channels. Such channels can be set to be skipped during Memory scanning (MR, Book, WX, or BRS modes), if you like, so as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning:
Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
Press and hold the [9(SKIP)] key for 2 seconds. The icon will appear at the left of the frequency display, indicating that the channel is to be ignored during scanning.
Later, to re-enable the memory channel for scanning, repeat the first two steps. The icon will disappear by the channel you have just re-enabled. Note: A memory set to be skipped is still accessible for manual memory selection using the DIAL selector knob. Programmable (Band Limit) Memory Scan (PMS) This feature allows you to set sub-band limits for either scanning or manual VFO operation. For example, you might with to set up a limit of COM band (118.000 MHz to 136.975 MHz. 17 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual Heres how to do this:
Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [SEL(SET)] key and set the radio to the AIR band by pressing the [BAND(MODE)] key, if necessary.
Using the techniques learned earlier, store 118.000 MHz into Memory Channel Lch
(the Lch designates the Lower sub-band limit).
Likewise, store 136.975 MHz into Memory Channel Uch (the Uch designates the Upper sub-band limit).
Switch to the Memory mode by pressing the [SEL(SET)] key once, then rotate the DIAL to select Memory Channel Lch.
Press and hold in the [SCAN(DW)MT] key for 2 seconds to start PMS operation; the MR label will be replaced by PMS in the upper left-hand corner of the display.
Tuning and scanning (pressing the [SCAN(DW)MT] key) will now be limited within the just-programmed range. Note: The PMS feature does not activated on the WX and BRS frequencies. Dual Watch Operation The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for activity on a Priority channel* while you are operating on another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the current channel and the Priority channel will each be polled for a 500 ms interval, as the VXA-710 looks for activity on each channel.
To start Dual Watch, press the [F] key followed by [SCAN(DW)MT] key.
The DW icon will appear on the display.
While receiving on the current channel (not the Priority channel), you may push the PTT switch at any time to transmit on that channel.
When a signal is received on the Priority channel, operation immediately shifts to the Priority channel; the DW icon will blink, and the display will become illuminated.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you momentarily press the PTT switch, Dual Watch will be disabled. You may then transmit on the Priority Channel.
To stop Dual Watch, press the [F] key followed by [SCAN(DW)MT] key.
If you wish, you may use both the Dual Watch and Scan features simultaneously. To do this, start the Dual Watch first, then start the Scanner.
* The Priority channel is defined as the last-used Memory Channel (when using the VFO, Book memory, and BRS channel modes) or Memory Channel 1 (when using the Main Memory mode). Priority Dual Watch Operation Similar to Dual Watch operation (described on previous page), Priority Dual Watch is an 18 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual enhanced version which includes the following additional features:
The receiving time interval (ratio) between the current channel and the Priority channel may be customized via the Menu Item PRI Time. See page ?? for details.
Irrespective of which channel is currently being received, when the PTT button is pushed transmission will always occur on the Priority channel. Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu Item DW/PRI must be set to the PRI mode

22 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6610623X20 IC ID: 511B-10623X20 Operating Manual CTCSS Operation The CTCSS operation allows to silently monitor for calls on busy channels and to transmit CTCSS tone. The decode function monitors receiver audio through a narrow filter at the same subaudible frequency, keeping the squelch closed until a matching tone is received, while the transmit (encode) function superimpose a subaudible tone (at a frequency too low to be heard) on the transmit carrier. The CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of the Tone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the [1(VOR)TN] and [2(TO)CD] keys, or Menu Items (SQL Type) and (TONE Set).
Press and hold the [1(VOR)TN] key for 3 seconds. This instantly recalls Menu Item
