Overview - Your Authorized VERTEX STANDARD Dealer can program your Radio for Trunking or Conventional format. Switching Power ON/OFF Rotate the VOL. / PWR Knob turn on the radio. The display will become illuminated. Press the ▲・▼ Button to choose the desired operating Group. A Group name will appear on the display. If you want to select the operating Group from a different System, press the ▽・△ Button to select the System you want before selecting the operating Group. Setting the Volume Turn the VOL. / PWR Knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to decrease it. [Conventional System] System] If no signal is present, press and hold in the MON button more than 1/2 seconds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL. / PWR Knob for the desired audio level. Press the MON button again to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring. [Trunking System] System] If no signal is present, press the MON button, the bass sound will be heard. And you may use this to set the VOL. / PWR Knob for the desired audio level. Transmitting [Conventional System] System] 1. In conventional mode, IT IS A FCC REQUIRMENT TO MONITOR A CHANNEL BEFORE TRANSMITTING. Press the button programmed for monitoring. Listen for channel activity. 2. When receiving a call, Transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously. 3. Press the PTT key. When a channel is available, the TXLED will glow red. The radio is now transmitting and a voice message can be delivered. For best transmission, speak into the microphone from a distance of 1- 1/2 to 2 inches. Release the PTT key after each transmission. 4. If Busy Channel Lockout has been programmed for a channel, the radio will not transmit VX-2500 Operating Manual 8 of 15 2001. 10. 25 Ver 1.0 when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will give a Continuos low-pitched tone while the PTT key is pressed. Release the PTT key and wait for channel activity to stop. 5. If CTCSS or Digital-Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed for 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. [Trunking System] System] 1. Press the PTT key. When a channel is available, the TX LED will glow red steadily. The radio is now transmitting and a voice message can be delivered. 2. If all channels are busy, a continuous tone will be heard and BUSY will appear on the LCD when the PTT key is pressed. Release the PTT key. When a channel becomes available, BUSY will disappear from the LCD, and a beep will be heard from the radio. Immediately press the PTT key to hold the channel. If the TX LED glows red, deliver the voice message. If BUSY is displayed, repeat this step until a channel becomes available. 3. If the radio is out of range during the transmitting attempt, slow beeps will be heard followed by a continuous tone. The in-range symbol will not be displayed on the LCD. Automatic Time-Out Timer If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound five seconds before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the “TX” indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must release the PTT and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire (if you press the PTT before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you will have to wait another “penalty” period) VX-2500 Operating Manual 9 of 15 2001. 10. 25 Ver 1.0 Advanced Operation Programmable Function Button (PF button) The VX-2500 includes the nine Programmable Function Buttons (PF button). The PF button functions can be customized, 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 PF button programming features are illustrated at the below. For further details, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer. For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to the PF button on your particular radio, and keep it handy.

While scanning, the transceiver will check each Group (channel) for the presence of a signal on Conventional System or ID on the Trunking System, and will stop on a Group(channel) if a signal or correct ID is present. To activate scanning: Press the assigned PF button of the Scan momentarily to activate scanning. The scanner will search the Groups (channels) of the each System, looking for active ones; it will pause each time it finds a Group (channel) on which someone is speaking. To stop scanning: Press the assigned PF button of the Scan. Scan Operation will revert to the programmed Revert group. group 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: • Current Group (“Talk Back”) • “Last Busy” Group • “Priority” Group • “Home” Group • “Scan Start” Group Dual Watch [only available on Conventional System] The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two channels are monitored: The current operating channel; and The “Priority” Group(channel.) To activate Dual Watch: Watch Press the assigned PF button of the Dual Watch. Watch The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. To stop Dual Watch: Watch Press the assigned PF button of the Dual Watch. Watch Operation will revert to the revert Group which is programmed. VX-2500 Operating Manual 11 of 15 2001. 10. 25 Ver 1.0 Low Power Press the assigned PF button of the Low Power to set the radio’s transmitter to the “Low Power” mode. Press this button again to the other Position to return to “High Power” operation when in difficult terrain. Talk Around Press the assigned PF button of the Talk Around 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 button may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions. Lock Press and hold the assigned PF button of the Key lock for 2sec. to lock the Front Panel buttons; this can be enabled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed. System Selection The VX-2500 VX-2500 is capable of separating its 250 memory Groups into any of 32 Systems. There is no limit as to the number of Groups which may be assigned to each System. The Dealer will have made the System assignment at the time of Group programming. To change System, press the assigned PF button of the SYSTEM UP/DOWN (Normally ▽・△ button) to change the System. Once the desired System is reached, press the assigned PF button of the GROUP UP/DOWN (Normally▲ ▲・▼ Button) to select the desired Group within the selected System. You may wish to have the Scanner (described 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 PF button for one second. Multi-System Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan” list. The VX-25 VX-2500 2500 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 VX-2500 Operating Manual 2001. 10. 25 12 of 15 Ver 1.0 scanning list). To edit the User Scan list, press and hold the button (assigned to the Group Up/Down function) to delete the current Memory Group from the Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold the assigned of the Scan A/D for one second to delete the Current Memory channel from the Scanning. When you delete a Group or channel, “PRG PRG” PRG icon on the LCD will disappear on the LCD for one second after pressing the assigned button. To restore a particular channel to your scanning list, press and hold in the button again for one second; “PRG PRG” PRG icon will appear on the LCD for one second after pressing the button. Call/Reset [only available on Conventional system] 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 button, 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 button is pressed (the new code will now be transmitted). 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. Emergency [only available on Conventional system] The VX-25 VX-2500 2500 Radio 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. ARTS (Auto Range Transpond System) 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 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-2500 Operating Manual 2001. 10. 25 DTMF Paging System 13 of 15 Ver 1.0 [only available on conventional system] This 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 ringer will sound. The three-digit code of the station which paged you will be displayed on your radio’s LCD. VX-2500 Operating Manual 14 of 15 2001. 10. 25 Ver 1.0 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 UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) band. On this band, 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. 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 is high and clear, and coverage is best. On final note regarding propagation is useful in improving coverage. Because radio waves at 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.
