VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 5BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVERImportant! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power con-nections have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to theantenna jack.Switching Power ON/OFFPress the (POWER) button to turn the radio on. The display will becomeilluminated.Press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is programmed to the Chan-nel Up/Down feature to choose the desired operating channel. A channel numberwill be displayed. See page 7 for more information on the Programmable Func-tion keys.Setting the VolumeTurn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise todecrease it.TransmittingTo transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.THIS IS AN FCC REQUIRMENT!Press the PF button which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen forchannel activity.When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radiocannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.Press the PTT switch.If the channel is clear, the BUSY/TX indicator will glow red. The radio is nowtransmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the mi-crophone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the micro-phone about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch toreceive.If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, theradio will not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generatea short beep three times. Release the PTT switch and wait for the channel to beclear of activity.If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on achannel, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received orwhen the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.FCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL6Automatic Time-Out TimerIf the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limitthe length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 secondsbefore time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red “TX”indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans-mitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire(if you press the PTT switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you willhave to wait another “penalty” period)Key LockIn order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, variousaspects of the VX-4100’s keys, and the PTT switch, may be locked out. The preciselockout configuration must be programmed by your VERTEX STANDARD dealerTo activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [A] key while turning the radioon. To disable the Locking feature, repeat this power-on procedure.BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVERFCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

Press and hold in this button for 1.5 sec-onds to hear background noise (unmute the audio); the BUSY/TX indicator willglow green.CHANNEL UP/DOWNPress the assigned programmable key to select a different channel.CHANNEL SCAN (SCAN)The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple channels programmed into the trans-ceiver. While scanning, the transceiver will check each channel for the presence of asignal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present.To activate scanning:Press the assigned programmable key to activate scanning.The scanner will search the programmed channels, looking for active ones; itwill pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.Press the assigned programmable key again to disable scanning. Operation willrevert to the programmed revert channel.Note: Your dealer may have programmed your radio to stay on one of the follow-ing channels if you press the PTT switch during the scanning pause: Current channel (“Talk Back”) “Last Busy” channel “Priority” channel “Home” channel “Scan Start” channelADVANCED OPERATIONFCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 9ADVANCED OPERATIONDUAL WATCH (DW)The Dual Watch feature is similar to the SCAN feature, except that only two channelsare monitored:The current operating channel; andThe Priority channel.To activate Dual Watch:Press the assigned programmable key.The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds achannel on which someone is speaking.To stop Dual Watch:Press the assigned programmable key.Operation will revert to the “Dual Watch Start” channel.FOLLOW-ME SCAN“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Channel regularly as youscan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available chan-nels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel 2 asthe “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the channel you want to designate asthe “User-Assigned Priority Channel” and press the assigned programmable key.Then press the Channel Up/Down key to recall to the “Scanning Start” channel whichhas been programmed by your dealer to activate the scanner. When the scanner stopson an “Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically bechecked every few seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned Priority Chan-nel, the radio will switch between it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, ifany.FCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL10FOLLOW-ME DUAL WATCH (DW)To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the “Follow-Me” feature, select achannel using the Channel Up/Down key. Now press the assigned programmablekey; pressing the assigned programmable key locks the current channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now press the Channel Up/Down key to select anotherchannel (not the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel and the User-assigned Priority Channel.During “Follow-Me” scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the“Dual Watch” feature by pressing the Channel Up/Down key to another channel. Theradio will then scan back and forth between the original User-assigned Priority Channeland the newly-selected channel.The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained inmemory until you change it.LOW POWER (LOW)Press the assigned programmable key to set the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power”mode, thus extending battery life. Press the key again to return to “High Power”operation when in difficult terrain.TALK AROUND (TA)Press the assigned programmable key to activate the Talk Around feature when youare operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies,utilizing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass therepeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no effectwhen you are operating on “simplex” channels, where the receive and transmit fre-quencies are already the same.Note that your dealer may have mode provision for “Talk Around” channels by pro-gramming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so,the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions.ENCRYPTION DISABLE (OPTION)When the Voice Scrambler feature is enabled, press the assigned programmable keyto toggle the voice encryption on and off.ADVANCED OPERATIONFCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

VX-4100 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 13ARTS (Auto Range Transpond System)This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped stationare within communication range.During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for about 1 second every25 seconds (the interval is programmed by the Dealer) in an attempt to shake handswith the other station.If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signalhas been received, three beeps from the beeper will sound. If you subsequently moveback into range, a single beep will be heard whenever your radio shakes hands withthe other station.DTMF Paging SystemThis system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches yours,your radio’s squelch will open and the alert will sound. The three-digit code of thestation which paged you will be displayed on your radio’s LCD.ADVANCED OPERATIONFCC ID: K6610353030/IC ID: 511B-10353030Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
