GETTING

STARTED

4. Slide the battery tray into the battery cavity in the

base of the unit until the locking screw contacts

the threaded hole in the base of the unit. (Figure 3)

5. Lift up the D-Ring on the screw in the battery Tray

and use it or a coin to screw in the tray until snug.

Press the D-Ring down so that it rests in the

cavity in the tray base.

6. Press the POWER key to be certain the batteries

have been properly installed and the unit is

functioning. Check the Battery Level indicator on

the LCD display to be certain you have installed

fresh batteries.

NOTE: Alkaline batteries should be removed from

the unit when stored for extended periods (six or

more months) to prevent leakage from expended cells.

Selecting a Channel

To begin using the VHF 720 you will want to

select a channel to monitor while you personal-

ize the unit settings, such as volume and

squelch. When you power-up the unit, a channel

will automatically be selected, but it may not be

suitable for making unit settings.

To select a channel:

1. Use the U/I/C Channel Band key to select USA,

International, or Canadian channel bands.

(Figure 4) The unit was set at the factory to

channel 10 before shipment.

2. Press the UP or DOWN arrow key to scroll

through the channels available on the selected

band. (Figure 4) If you dont know which channel

to select, refer to the Channel List in Appendix C

on pages 28 and 29.
