VX-4600 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL 1
INTRODUCTION
The VX-4600 Series are full-featured FM transceivers designed for flexible mobile
and base station business communications in the VHF or UHF Land Mobile bands.
These transceiver are designed for reliable business communications in a wide vari-
ety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by their lead-
ing-edge design.
The 128-channel memories can each be programmed with a 8-character channel name.
Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the
CPU, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer and the VER-
TEX STANDARD Programming Cable and CE115 Software.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-
4600 Series transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with your
Network Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this equip-
ment for use in your application.
For North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band

BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER
Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power connec-
tions have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the an-
tenna jack.
Switching Power ON/OFF
Press and hold in the PWR( ) button for 2 seconds to turn the radio on. The
display will become illuminated.
Press the []/[] button to choose the desired operating channel. A channel
name will appear on the display. If you want to select an operating channel from
a different group, press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is pro-
grammed to the Group Up/Down feature to select the group you want before
selecting the operating channel. See page 7 for more information on the Pro-
grammable Function keys.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to
decrease 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 for
channel activity.
When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio
cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.
Press the PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. The radio is now
transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the micro-
phone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone
about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch to receive.
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, the
radio will not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate
a short beep three times and indicate “* ERROR *” on the display. Release the
PTT switch and wait for the channel to be clear of activity.
If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on a
channel, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received or
when the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.
