Scan Set
Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
delete the Current Memory Channel from the Scanning List. When
you delete a channel from the Scanning List, a low tone beep will
sound. To restore a particular channel to your Scanning List, press
(or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key again; a
high tone beep will sound.
DW (Dual Watch)
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that
only two channels are monitored: the current operating channel,
and the “Priority” channel.
To activate Dual Watch:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each
time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. When
the Dual Watch feature is activated, the LED indicator on the
top of the radio will glow green.
To stop Dual Watch:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is
set.
TA Scan
Press the assigned programmable key to toggle the TA (Talk
Around) scan feature “On” and “Off.”
While TA scan is proceeding, the VX-230 will search both the
transmit and receive frequencies (and the LED indicator on the top
of the radio will glow green). When a signal is encountered on the
receive frequency, the VX-230 will pause until the signal disap-
pears. When a signal is encountered on the transmit frequency, the
VX-230 will check for activity on the receive frequency every few
seconds (interval programmed by your Dealer).
TA (Talk Around)
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on duplex
channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utiliz-
ing 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.
When the “TA” function is activated, the LED indicator on the top
of the radio will glow green.
TX Save Disable
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
disable the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a loca-
tion 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 com-
munication path, and high power may be necessary at all times.
Mon (Monitor)
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key mo-
mentarily to disable the Tone squelch. When disables the Tone
squelch, the LED indicator on the top of the radio will glow green.
SQL Off
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
disable the Noise and Tone squelch. Again press (or Press and hold)
the assigned Programmable key to resume normal (quiet) Noise
and Tone squelch action.
SQL Set
You can manually adjust the squelch level using this function. Press
the assigned Programmable key to toggle the squelch threshold
level “High” and “Low”.
Low Power
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to set
the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus extending
battery life. Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable
key again to return to “High Power” operation when in difficult
terrain. When the radio’s transmitter is set to “Low Power” mode,
the LED indicator on the top of the radio will glow green.
Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple channels pro-
grammed into the transceiver. While scanning, the radio will check
each channel for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a chan-
nel if a signal is present.
To activate scanning:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key.
The scanner will search the channels, looking for active ones; it
will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is
speaking. When the scanner is activated, the LED indicator on
the top of the radio will glow green.
To stop scanning:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is
set.
Follow-Me Scan
“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned Priority Chan-
nel regularly as you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Chan-
nels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 available channels) are designated for
“Scanning,” the user may nonetheless any channel as the “User-
assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
Press the assigned Programmable key to activate “Follow-Me”
scanning, then turn the CH selector knob to the channel which you
want to designate as the “User-Assigned Priority Channel”. When
the scanner stops on an “active” channel, the User-assigned Prior-
ity Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds (in-
terval programmed by your Dealer).

The VX-230 provide [Side 1] and [Side 2] keys. These Pro-
grammable keys functions can be customized (set to other func-
tions), via programming by your VERTEX STANDARD dealer,
to meet your communications/network requirements. Some fea-
tures may require the purchase and installation of optional internal
accessories. The possible Programmable key features are illus-
trated below, and their functions are explained in the next chapter.
For further details, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer.
For future reference, check the box next to each function that has
been assigned to the Programmable key on your particular ra-
dio, and keep it handy.
Reset
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
silence the receiver and reset for another call, when a communica-
tion is finished.
Call
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
send a programmed 2-Tone sequential tone.
Speed Dial
Your Dealer may have a pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone num-
ber memory into your radio. Press (or Press and hold) the assigned
Programmable key to send the pre-programmed Auto-Dial tele-
phone number. The DTMF tones sent during the dialing sequence
will be heard in the speaker.
Lock
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to
lock the CH knob, Programmable keys, and PTT switch. The
precise lockout configuration is programmed by your VERTEX
STANDARD dealer.
Emergency
The VX-230 series 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
VERTEX STANDARD dealer.
Lone Worker
Press and hold the assigned Programmable key to toggle the
Lone Worker feature “ON” and “OFF.”
The Lone Worker feature will emit an audible alarm for 30 sec-
onds at one second intervals when the Lone Worker Timer has
expired. If the user does not reset the timer by pressing the PTT
switch, the radio switches to the Emergency mode.

This system is designed to inform you when you and another
ARTS-equipped station are within communication range.
During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for
about 1 second every 55 seconds in an attempt to shake hands with
the other station.
If you are out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses
that no signal has been received, a ringing beeper will sound. If
you subsequently move back into range, as soon as the other sta-
tion transmits, your beeper will sound.
