Backlighting the LCD Display and
Keypad
The backlighting feature is used to improve
readability of the LCD display and keypad in
dim light.
1. Press and release the PWR key after the unit has
powered on. The display and keypad will be
illuminated for 5 seconds after the last key press
before cycling off.
NOTE: Press this key anytime you require visual
reference in dim light.
Using the Key Lock Feature
If you desire to maintain a selected
function on your VHF 725e, such as TRI-
WATCH, or SCAN, you can lock the keys using
the Lock feature to prevent inadvertent
canceling or changing of unit settings. How-
ever, the Press-To-Talk, Squelch, and Power
keys still function.
1. Press the H/L-LOCK (Hi/Low transmission
power) key for more than one second after you
have set the unit to the function desired. When
the unit keypad is locked, the LOCK message
will be displayed on the LCD screen. (Figure 13)
2. To cancel the lock feature, press the H/L-LOCK
key again for more than one second or turn Off
the unit using the POWER key.
