frequency, the transceiver will check for activity on

the receive frequency every few seconds (interval

programmed by your Vertex Standard dealer).

Note: The TA Scan feature does not activate on the

Simplex Channel.

scan sEt

Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable

key to add/delete the current channel to/from your

scanning list.

When the scanner is stopped, you may remove the

channel from the scan list temporarily by pressing (or

press and holding) this key.

talK around (ta)

Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable

key to activate the Talk Around feature when you are

operating on duplex channel systems (separate re-

ceive and transmit frequencies, utilizing a “repeater”

station). The Talk Around feature allows you to by-

pass the repeater station and talk directly to a station

that is nearby. This feature has no effect when you are

operating on “simplex” channels, where the receive

and transmit frequencies are already the same.

Note that your dealer may have mode provision for

“Talk Around” channels by programming “repeater”

and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent chan-

nels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other

Pre-Programmed Functions.

Note: The Talk Around feature does not activate on

the Simplex Channel.

rEsEt

Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable

key to reset the RFC (Ready for Communication)

condition.

tx savE dIsaBlE

Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable

key to disable the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are

operating in a location where high power is almost

always needed.

The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life

by reducing transmit power when a very strong signal

from an apparently nearby station is being received.

Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held

radio may not be heard well at the other end of the

communication path, and high power may be neces-

sary at all times.

locK

Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable

key to lock the CH Selector knob, Programmable

keys, and PTT switch. The precise lockout congura-

tion is programmed by your Vertex Standard Dealer.

locK

In order to prevent accidental channel change or

inadvertent transmission, various aspects of the

CH Selector knob, Programmable keys, and PTT

switch may be locked.

The precise lockout conguration is programmed by

your Dealer.

To locked out the key locking, turn the radio off.

Now, press and hold the PTT and SIDE-2 key while

turning the radio on again.

To cancel locking, repeat this process.

artstm

(auto rangE transpond sYstEm)

This system is designed to inform you when you and

another ARTSTM-equipped station are within commu-

nication range.

During ARTSTM operation, when the radio receives

an incoming ARTSTM signal, a short beep will sound.

If you move out of range for more than two minutes,

your radio senses that no signal has been received;

a short triple-beep will sound. If you subsequently

move back into communication range, as soon as the

other station transmits, a short beep will sound again.

artsIItm

(auto rangE transpond sYstEm)

The ARTSIITM system is enhanced feature of the

ARTSTM which can be nding out the communication

range of the radio individually by using the MDC-

1200® Encode/Decoder.
