transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the microphone 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
continuous low-pitched tone while the PTT switch is pressed. Release the PTT
switch and wait for the channel to be clear of activity.
VX-2500 OPERATING MANUAL
Page 5
BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER
r 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.
TRUNKING SYSTEM
r Press the PTT switch.
r When a channel is available, the BUST/TX indicator will glow red. The radio is
now transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the
microphone 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.
r If all channels are busy, a continuous tone will be heard from the radio, and the
“
” icon will appear on the LCD when the PTT switch is pressed. Release
the PTT switch.
r If the radio is out of range during the transmitting attempt, slow beeps will be
heard followed by a continuous tone from the radio.
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 10 seconds
before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the “
” indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, 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 will
have to wait another “penalty” period)

ADVANCED OPERATION
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.
DTMF Paging System
(Requires the optional FVP-25 Encryption/DTMF Pager Unit)
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.
