ASSWORD
The VX-8R provides a password feature which can minimize the chance that your trans-
ceiver could be used by an unauthorized party.
When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for the four digit password to be
entered when the radio is first turned on. You must enter the
four digit password from the keypad. If the wrong password is
entered, the microprocessor will shut down the radio automati-
cally.
To enter and activate the password use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the 
 key for one second to enter the Set Mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 69:

1) We recommend that you write down the password number, and keep it in a
safe place where you can easily find if you forget your password.
2) If you forget the password number, you may turn on the transceiver by
performing the “Microprocessor Resetting” procedure (see page 134). However, the
VX-8R will clear the password, as well as all memories, and will restore all other set-
tings to factory defaults.
