On the other hand, an example in which specifications of repeater operation (frequency shift width of transmission and reception and tone frequency) and settings of call bells in a wireless communication device are preset in a memory provided separately from the above-mentioned memory. Yes, in this case, various settings are reproduced by calling the preset data at the time of use. There is also an example in which such specifications of repeater operation are set each time the VFO mode or the preset mode is set without presetting.

Further, some wireless communication devices having a plurality of wireless communication frequency bands store a used frequency, a function, etc. in a memory for each band, but an operating state over a plurality of wireless communication frequency bands. Was not stored in memory at once.

In recent years, the functions of wireless communication devices have been diversified, and the frequency to be used is set in the VFO mode described above, or the frequency data is called from the memory in the preset mode and set to the desired frequency. Later, I set many features.

For example, it is necessary to set the brightness of the backlight of the display device, the signaling condition, the on / off of the incoming call bell, the ringing volume of the ringing, and the like. These settings are performed by the wireless communication device. It is set each time it is needed during operation, and once set, that state is maintained.

Therefore, for example, when it is desired to make the display illumination brighter in the daytime, to increase the volume of the key confirmation sound, and to darken the display in the night, to reduce the volume of the key input confirmation sound, the VFO is required. After setting the mode or preset mode, press the function key to enter the mode in which the brightness of the display illumination can be changed, then operate the tuning knob etc. to set the brightness, and then press the function key. , A mode in which the volume of the confirmation sound of key input can be changed, and then a series of key operations are performed every day in the morning and evening (daytime and nighttime) to set the volume by operating the tuning knob and the like.
