You now have at your fingertips a valuable communications tool-a two-way radio ! Rugged, reliable and easy to use, your radio will keep you in constant touch with your colleagues for years to come, with negligible maintenance down-time. Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio, in case questions arise later on. We're glad you joined the team. Call on us anytime, because communications is our business. Let us help you get your message across. CONTROLS & CONNECTORS VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL 1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN Battery Pack Installation and Removal Low Battery Indication r To install the battery, hold the transceiver with your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker and your thumb is on the top of the belt clip. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the back of the radio while tilting the Belt Clip outward, then close the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in place with a “Click.” r As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage reaches 6.0 volts, it is time to substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge the depleted pack. The LED indicator on the top of the radio will blink red when the battery voltage is low (6 Volts or lower). r Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries often with little use between charges, as this can degrade the charge capacity. We recommend that you carry an extra, fully-charged pack with you so the operational battery may be used until depletion (this “deep cycling” technique promotes better longterm battery capacity). r To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective cases. Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio, then slide the battery downward and out from the radio while unfolding the Belt Clip. Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Lithium-Ion and Ni-Cd packs, as they could explode if accidentally shortcircuited. 2 Notice ! There are no owner-serviceable parts inside the transceiver. All service jobs must be referred to Service an authorized Representative. Consult your Authorized Dealer for installation of optional accessories. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION Preliminary Steps Operation Quick Start r Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. r Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. Never attempt to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. r If you have a Speaker/Microphone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the VX-800. r Turn the top panel’s VOL/PWR knob clockwise to turn on the radio on. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL r Pull and turn the top panel's CH selector knob to choose the desired operating channel. A channel name will appear on the LCD. If you want to select the operating channel from a different Memory Channel Group, pressing the Soft key (assigned to the Memory Group Up or Down function) to select the Memory Channel Group to be you want before selecting the operating channel. A group name will appear on the LCD whenever the Soft key is pressed. Note: Some models are programmed so that the operating channels are selected by the Soft key and the memory channel group 3 OPERATION is selected by the channe selector knob. For further details, contact your dealer.. r Rotate the V O L / PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present, press and hold in the Monitor button (the center button on the left side) more than 2 seconds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the desired audio level. Press and hold the Monitor button more than 2 seconds (or press the Monitor button twice) to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring. 4 r To transmit, press and hold the PTT switch. Speak into the microphone area of the front panel grille (lower righthand corner) in a normal voice level. To return to the Receive mode, release the PTT switch. r Press the Soft key (if assigned to the Scan function) or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned “Scan” position (when so programmed by your dealer) to start the scanner. The scanner rapidly steps through each of the dealer-programmed channels, looking for incoming calls. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION r Press the top panel’s SEL1/SEL2 key to activate one of the preprogrammed functions which may have been enabled at the time of programming by the dealer. Similarly, when using the 16-key version, the [A], [B], [C], and [D] function keys activate one of these functions, if programmed by the dealer. See the next section for details regarding the available features. r Switch the top panel’s Toggle Switch to the [A], [B] or [Center] position to activate one of the pre-programmed functions which may have been enabled at the time of programming by the dealer. When this switch is in the [A (left)], [B (right)] or [Center] position, the feature programmed (by your dealer) to that switch position will be activated. See the next section for details regarding the available features. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL r Press the DTMF keys on the telephone keypad while pressing the PTT switch to send DTMF tones (16-key version only). r If a Speaker/Microphone is available, remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws from the right side of the transceiver, then align the connector of the Speaker/Microphone on the transceiver body; secure the connector pin using the screws supplied with the Speaker/Microphone. Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while receiving. To transmit, press the PTT switch on the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on the main transceiver’s body, and speak into the microphone on a normal voice level. Note: Save the original plastic cap and its mounting screws. They should be reinstalled when not using the Speaker/Microphone. 5 ADVANCED OPERATION Soft Key and Toggle Switch Functions The VX-800 includes the [SEL1], [SEL2], [MON], and [LAMP] Keys, and the Toggle Switch, while the 16-key version additionally provides [A], [B], [C], [D] function Keys. The Soft key and Toggle Switch functions can be customized, via programming by your dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. Some features may require the purchase and installation of optional internal accessories. The possible Soft key and Toggle Switch programming features are illustrated at the right, and their functions are explained on page 8. For further details, contact your dealer. For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to the Soft key and Toggle Switch on your particular radio, and keep it handy.

While scanning, the transceiver will check each channel for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present. 8 Note: Your dealer may have programmed your radio to stay on one of the following channels if you press the PTT switch during scanning pause: l Current channel (“Talk Back”) l “Last Busy” channel l “Priority” channel l “Home” channel l “Scan Start” channel One key or switch may be assigned to the Scan function, as follows: r One of the Soft keys may be assigned for Scan operation; or r The Toggle switch may have one position assigned to the Scan function. Dual Watch The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two channels are monitored: r The current operating channel; and r The “Priority” channel. To activate scanning: l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to the assigned position. l The scanner will search the channels, looking for active ones; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. To activate Dual Watch: l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to the assigned position. l The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. To stop scanning: l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to a different position. l Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. To stop scanning: l Press the assigned Soft key, or set the Toggle switch to a different position. l Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL ADVANCED OPERATION High/Low Power Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position to set the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus extending battery life. Press the assigned Soft key again or switch the Toggle Switch to the other Position to return to “High Power” operation when in difficult terrain. Talk Around Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass 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 made provision for “Talk Around” channels by programming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL TX Save Disable Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position 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 necessary at all times. LCD Invert Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position inverts the LCD display to backward-facing readout (the backward display is convenient for viewing when wearing the transceiver on your belt). Press the assigned Soft key again or switch the Toggle Switch to the other Position-return the LCD display to frontward-facing readout. 9 ADVANCED OPERATION Encryption Disable Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position to turn off the optional voice encryption unit temporarily, for use when an incorrect setting of (or failure in) the encryption system at one end of the communication path has made it impossible to talk to the other station. Remember that disabling the encryption will mean that your transmissions are no longer secure. Return to the encrypted mode as soon as possible, and do not discuss any critical or confidential information while in the non-encrypted mode of operation. Lock Switch the Toggle Switch to lock the top-panel keys; this can be enabled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed. Follow-Me Scan “Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the 10 “Follow-Me” feature. To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and Switch the Toggle Switch to the assigned position. Then turn the CH selector knob to the “Scanning Start” channel which has been programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on an “Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Channel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if any. Follow-Me DW To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select a channel using the CH selector knob. Now press the assigned Soft key; pressing the assigned Soft key locks the current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now rotate the CH selector knob to another channel (not the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel (shown on the CH selector knob) and the User-assigned Priority Channel. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL ADVANCED OPERATION During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the “Dual Watch” feature by rotating the CH selector knob to another channel. The radio will then scan back and forth between the original User-assigned Priority Channel and the newly-selected channel. previously) pass through more than one Group during the scanning process (normally, scanning is performed within the current group only). To include the current Group in the scanning loop, press and hold in the assigned Soft key for one second. The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained in memory until you change it. To remove a Group from Group Scan, press and hold in the assigned Soft key again for one second. Channel Group Selection The VX-800 is capable of separating its 200 memory channels into any of ten Groups. There is no limit as to the number of channels which may be assigned to each Group. The Dealer will have made the Group assignment at the time of channel programming. At the same time, one of the Soft Keys will be assigned as the Channel Group Selection key. To change Channel Groups, press the assigned soft key to step through the available Groups. Once the desired Group is reached, rotate the CH selector knob to select the desired channel within the selected Group. You may wish to have the Scanner (described VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan” list. The VX-800 has two scanning “lists:” the “Dealer Scan” list and the “User Scan” list. The “Dealer Scan” list is a fixed group of stations which will be included when scanning is activated. The “User Scan” list is a different list, initially arranged by the Dealer, which may be modified by the User (if, for example, you want to delete one or more of these channels from the scanning list). To edit the User Scan list, press and hold the soft key (assigned to the Group Up/Down function) to delete the current Memory Group from the Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold the “Scan” Soft key for one second to delete the Current Memory channel from the Scanning. 11 ADVANCED OPERATION When you delete a Group or channel, “-SKIP-” will appear on the LCD for one second after pressing the Soft key. To restore a particular channel to your scanning list, press and hold in the Soft key again for one second; “-STOP-” will appear on the LCD for one second after pressing the Soft key. Call/Reset This feature, if enabled, allows the user to change the 3-digit Page Call code, used to call other similarly-equipped stations. Press the Dealer-assigned soft key, followed by the three digits representing the Page Call code of the station you wish to call. Three tones will be heard after the last key is pressed (the new code will now be transmitted). (you will hear the tones in the speaker), you can release the PTT switch. Emergency The VX-800 includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have someone monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s channel. For further details contact your nearest dealer.. The receiver squelch of the other station will be opened, and you can begin communication. Speed Dial Your Dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone number memories into your radio. To dial a number, press the numbered key corresponding to the Auto-Dial memory number list provided by your Dealer while pressing the PTT switch. Once the telephone number has begun 12 VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL ADVANCED OPERATION ARTS (Auto Range Transpond System) DTMF Paging System This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped station are within communication range. This system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences. During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for about 1 second every 25 seconds (the interval is programmed by the Dealer) in an attempt to shake hands with the other station. If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signal has been received, a ringing beeper will sound, and "OUT OF SERVICE" will scroll on the LCD. If you subsequently move back into range, as soon as the other station transmits, your beeper will sound, and "IN SERVICE" will scroll on the LCD. VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches yours, your radio's squelch will open and the alert ringer will sound (unless you have disabled it, as described previously). The three-digit code of the station which paged you will be displayed on your radio's LCD. 13 UNDERSTANDING RADIO WAVES Radio waves travel from one point to another by several different means. The general term for these methods of wave travel is “propagation”. You may know that “shortwave” signals can be propagated over distances of several thousand miles by reflection off of the upper regions of the atmosphere. Your hand-held transceiver, on the other hand, operates on the so-called VHF (Very-High Frequency) or UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) bands. On these bands, radio waves usually do not reflect off of the atmosphere. Instead, the radio waves behave almost as light: they travel in a straight line, and when they meet a building or obstruction, they go no further in that direction. Therefore, it is important that you be as high and free from obstructions as possible to cover the greatest distance when using your radio. If you operate from inside a car or building, any metal around you can absorb much of the signal, both transmitted and received. Coverage may therefore be very poor under those conditions. However, if you must operate from indoors, moving next to a window will improve communications. is high and clear, and coverage is best. On final note regarding propagation is useful in improving coverage. Because radio waves at VHF/UHF are similar to light waves, they do reflect, to varying degrees, off of hills, buildings, and the like. In a crowded urban area, with many close buildings close together, many reflections may occur, and interfere with one another, causing variations in signal strength at different locations. Therefore, if a signal is weak and you walk a few feet in any direction, reception may suddenly become clear, because a particular reflection path may become dominant. Reflections are frequently useful, as they can allow for communications between two stations over a highly obstructed path. In view of the factors just discussed, you can easily see the potential benefit of holding the radio up high near your mouth while transmitting. In this way the antenna 14 VX-800 OPERATING MANUAL SPECIFICATIONS (TYPE USA) GENERAL Frequency Range: Number of Channels: Channel Spacing: Battery Voltage: Temperature Range: Frequency Stability: Case Size (WHD): Weight (approx.): VX-800 (VHF) VX-800 (UHF) 134-160, 148-174 MHz 450-485 MHz 200 channels 200 channels 12.5/25/30 kHz 12.5/25/30 kHz 7.4 VDC 7.4 VDC –30°C to +60°C –30°C to +60°C ±2.5 ppm ±2.5 ppm 58 x 110 x 28.9 mm w/FNB-V62LI 58 x 110 x 28.9 mm w/FNB-V62LI 300 grams with FNB-V62LI, antenna, belt clip 300 grams with FNB-V62LI, antenna, belt clip RECEIVER Circuit Type: Double-conversion superheterodyne IFs: 22.05 MHz & 450 kHz 12-dB SINAD Sensitivity: 0.25 µV Squelch Sensitivity: 0.25 µV Selectivity: 75 dB (25 kHz)/70 dB (12.5 kHz) Intermodulation: 75 dB (25 kHz)/68 dB (12.5 kHz) Spurious Rejection: 75 dB AF Output: 0.5 W @ 16 W, 3 % THD (BTL output) Double-conversion superheterodyne 44.25 MHz & 450 kHz 0.25 µV 0.25 µV 75 dB (25 kHz)/68 dB (12.5 kHz) 75 dB (25 kHz)/65 dB (12.5 kHz) 75 dB 0.5 W @ 16 W, 3 % THD (BTL output) TRANSMITTER Power Output: Modulation System: Maximum Deviation: FM Noise: Spurious Emission: AF Distortion (@ 1 kHz): Microphone Type: 5.0/2.5/1.0/0.25 W (Selectable) Direct FM ±5 kHz (25 kHz)/±2.5 kHz (12.5 kHz) 45 dB (25 kHz)/40 dB (12.5 kHz) 70 dB below carrier <3% 2-k W condenser 5.0/2.5/1.0/0.25 W (Selectable) Direct FM ±5 kHz (25 kHz)/±2.5 kHz (12.5 kHz) 45 dB (25 kHz)/40 dB (12.5 kHz) 70 dB below carrier <3% 2-k W condenser Specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation.
