FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only: This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/ Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guidelines: r FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation. r FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. r ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. r ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave. m This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control its RF exposure conditions. m When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body. m The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk (PTT) configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT button. m DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn configuration with the following accessory: belt-clip (Parts # CP7064001). It must be used ONLY for (1) there is a 4 cm distance from the body during transmitting, (2) monitoring purposes, using the speaker only and (3) for carrying purposes. m Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories. Notice ! There are no owner-serviceable parts inside the transceiver. All service jobs must be referred to an authorized Service Representative. Consult your Authorized Dealer for installation of optional accessories. r If a Speaker/Microphone is available, remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws from the right side of the transceiver, then insert the plug from the Speaker/Microphone into the MIC/ SP jack; secure the plug 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. Note:Save the original plastic cap and its mounting screws. They should be re-installed when not using the Speaker/Microphone. r Turn the top panel’s CH selector knob to choose the desired operating channel. Low Battery Indication r As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage reaches 6.3 volts, substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge the depleted pack. The TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will blink red (on the VX-180, the “ ” icon will appear on the LCD) when the battery voltage is low. 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 long-term battery capacity). This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference. r Press and hold in the MONITOR key for more than 1 seconds (or press the MONITOR key twice) to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring. r To transmit, press and hold in the PTT switch. Speak into the microphone area of the front panel grille (lower left-hand corner) in a normal voice level. To return to the Receive mode, release the PTT switch. Operation Quick Start CH (Channel) Selector Push To Talk (PTT) Switch Operation r Rotate the VOL/PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present, press and hold in the MONITOR key (the lower button on the left side) for more than 1 seconds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the desired audio level. Display Icons & Indicators (VX-180 Only) This indicator confirms that DUAL W ATCH is active. This icon is the “Low Battery” indicator, which appears when the battery voltage becomes too low for proper operation. This indicator confirms that DUAL 2-TONE DECODE is active. This indicator confirms that this channel will be skipped during scan. 8 Character Alpha-numeric Invertible Display Accessories & Options FNB-64 FNB-V57 FBA-25 NC-77B NC-77C VAC-800 VAC-6800 MH-45B4B MH-37A4B VC-25 VCM-1 LCC-160/S LCC-180/S CT-42 CT-27 CE44 7.2 V 700 mAh Ni-Cd Battery 7.2 V 1100 mAh Ni-Cd Battery Alkaline Battery Case 120 VAC Overnight Desktop Charger 230-240 VAC Overnight Desktop Charger Desktop Rapid Charger 6-unit Multi Charger Speaker/Microphone Earpiece Microphone VOX Headset Mobile Mounting Bracket (for VAC-800) Leather Case (for VX-160) Leather Case (for VX-180) PC Programming Cable Radio to Radio Programming Cable Programming Software Key Functions The VX-180 provides programmable [A], [B], and [C] function keys, and both the VX-160 and VX-180 provide programmable MONITOR keys. These “Soft” keys functions can be customized (set to other functions), via programming by your VERTEX STANDARD dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. Some features may require the purchase and installation of optional internal accessories. The possible Soft key programming features are illustrated 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 Soft key on your particular radio, and keep it handy. Function None Monitor Low Power Lock* Lamp* Channel Up* Channel Down* Scan Follow-me Scan Dual Watch Talk Around Add/Del* Call/Reset Speed Dial TX Save Off * VX-180 only [A] [B] Soft Key [C] MONITOR key Description of Operating Functions Monitor Dual Watch Press the assigned Soft key momentarily to override (disable) the Tone squelch. Background noise or incoming signals will now be heard whether or not a matching tone is present on the signal). Press and hold in the assigned Soft key for more than 1 seconds to override both the Noise and Tone squelch. Again press and hold in the assigned Soft key for more than 1 seconds (or press the assigned Soft key twice) to resume normal (quiet) Noise and Tone squelch action. 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. r To activate Dual Watch: Press the assigned Soft key. The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. r To stop Dual Watch: Press the assigned Soft key. Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. Low Power Press the assigned Soft key to set the radio's transmitter to the “Low Power” mode, thus extending battery life. Press the assigned Soft key again to return to “High Power” operation when in difficult terrain. Lock Press the assigned Soft key to lock the Soft keys (except Lock and Monitor key); thus, the [A], [B], [C], and MONITOR keys can be disabled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed. Lamp Press the assigned Soft key to illuminate the LCD for five seconds. Channel Up Press the assigned Soft key to switch to a higher operating channel number. Channel Down Press the assigned Soft key to switch to a lower operating channel number. Scan Talk Around Press the assigned Soft 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. Add/Del The Add/Del feature allows the user to arrange a custom Scan. Press the assigned Soft key to delete/restore the current channel to/ from your scanning list. When you delete a current channel, “SKIP” will appear on the LCD after pressing the Soft key. When you restore a current channel, “SKIP” indicator on the LCD will turn off. The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple channels programmed into the transceiver. While scanning, the radio will check each channel for the presence of a signal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present. r To activate scanning: Press the assigned Soft 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. r To stop scanning: Press the assigned Soft key. Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. Call/Reset Follow-Me Scan Press the assigned Soft 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 necessary at all times. “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 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature. Press the assigned Soft 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 Priority Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds. When the 2-tone selective calling unit is installed, press the assigned Soft key to silence the receiver and reset for another call, when a communication is finished. Speed Dial Your Dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone number memories into your radio. To dial a number, just press the Dealer-assigned Soft key for Speed Dialing. The DTMF tones sent during the dialing sequence will be heard in the speaker.
