Vertex Standard FT-2800M User Manual

Tuning steps are factory preset to default increments which are appropriate for the country
to which this radio is exported. You may have a reason to use a different step size, however,
and here is the procedure for changing the channel steps:

1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to

select “29 STEP.”

2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired step size

(5/10/12.5/15/20/25/50/100 kHz).

3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit

to normal operation.

The FT-2800M display illumination has been specially engineered to provide high visibil-
ity with minimal disruption of your “night vision” while you are driving. The brightness of
the display is manually adjustable, using the following procedure:

1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to

select “07 DIMR.”

2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select a comfortable brightness

level (1, 2, 3, and OFF).

3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit

to normal operation.
