Operator Manual

OPERATING MANUAL Congratulations! You now have at your fingertips a valuablecommunications tool – a Yaesu two-way radio! Rugged,reliable and easy to use, your Yaesu radio will keep youin touch for years to come, with negligible maintenance. Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully.The information presented here will allow you to derivemaximum performance from your radio. After reading it, keep the manual handy for quickreference, in case questions arise later on. We're glad you joined the Yaesu team. Call on us anytime, because our business is communications. Let ushelp you get your message across. NOTICEThere are no user-serviceable points inside thistransceiver. All service jobs must be referred to yourAuthorized Service Center or Network Administrator. Features The VX-4000 Series are rugged basic-featured FMtransceivers designed for flexible mobile and base stationbusiness communications in the 50-watts VHF and 40-watts UHF A highly integrated surface mount circuit design and adie-cast aluminum chassis assure reliability. Selectablepower output of LOW(5 – 25 watts) or High (VHF:50watts,UHF:40watts) without the need of forced air cooling ispossible due to the large heatsink surface area of thecompartmentalized one-piece diecast chassis. The 250-channels memories can each be programmedwith a 8-character channel name. A 39-tone programmable CTCSS encoder/decoder isbuilt in as standard. A 104 standerd digital codes programmable DCSencoder/decoder is built in as standard. Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROMand flash memory on the CPU, and is easilyprogrammable by dealers using a personal computer andthe Yaesu CT-71 Programming Cable and CE-35Software.

(Press and hold in this button for 1.5 second.) 3 BUSY Indicator This lamp glows green when the channel is busy. 4 Liquid Crystal Display The display include an 8-character alpha-numericsection showing channel and group names, status andidentity information, and error messages. Additionalindicators on the display show priority channelassignments and scan include / exclude selection. 5 UP Pressing this button changes the current group (anddisplayed group number or name). Holding this button formore than 1/2 second causes the function to repeat. 6 DOWN Pressing this button changes the current group (anddisplayed group number or name). Holding this button formore than 1/2 second causes the function to repeat. 7 Programmable Function Button This button can be set up for special applications, suchas high/low power selection, monitor, dimmer, talk-around, and call alert function, as determined by yournetwork requirements and programmed by your Yaesudealer. The default function is set as Dimmer Button. 8 HOME Indicator This lamp glows orange when incorrect position at thesetting of CE-35. 9 VOLUME Knob
This knob adjusts the receiver volume. 10 CHANNEL Selector Knob This knob select the operating channel. 11 Programmable Function Button The default function is set as MONI Button. 12 Programmable Function Button The default function is set as Low Power Button. 13 Programmable Function Button The default function is set as no function Button. 14 Programmable Function Button The default function is set as no function Button. Rear 15 16 18 18 15 Antenna Socket The 50-ohm coaxial feedline to the antenna must beconnected here using a type-M (PL-259) plug. 16 EXT SP (External Speaker) An external loudspeaker may be connected to this 2-contact, 3.5-mm mini-phone jack.Caution: Do not connect this line to ground, and becertain that the speaker has adequate capability tohandle the audio output from the radio. 17 13.8V DC Cable w/Connector The supplied DC power cable must be connected to this2-pin connector. Use only the supplied fused cable,extended if necessary, for power connection. 18 DSUB 25-Pin Accessory Connector External TX audio line input, PTT, Squelch, and externalRX audio line output signal may be obtained from thisconnector for use with accessories such as datatransmission/reception modems, ets. Side 19 19 Microphone JackConnect the microphone plug to this jack. Basic Operation of the Transceiver Important! –Before turning on the radio the first time,confirm that the power connections have been madecorrectly and that a proper antenna is connected to theantenna jack. Push the POWER switch turn on the radio. The displaywill become illuminated. The radio will start up on the lastchannel used prior to shutdown during the previousoperating session. Transmitting To transmit, wait until the “BUSY” indicator is off (thechannel is not in use), and press the PTT (Push-To-Talk)switch on the side of the microphone (the “TX” lamp willglow red). While holding in the PTT switch, speak acrossthe face of the microphone in a clear, normal voice level,and then release the PTT switch to receive. Automatic Time-Out Timer If the selected channel has been programmed forautomatic time-out, you must limit the length of eachtransmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound fiveseconds before time-out. Another beep will sound justbefore the deadline; the “TX” indicator will disappear andtransmission will cease soon thereafter. To resumetransmitting, you must release the PTT and wait for the“penalty timer” to expire (if you press the PTT before thistimer expires, the timer restarts, and you will have to waitanother “penalty” period). Scanning Operation With the microphone in its hanger, press the SCANbutton momentarily to activate scanning. Typically, “DSC”will initially appear on the display, indicating DealerChannel Scan as the scanning mode. If you wish tochange to one of the modes described in the list above,press the SEL button repeatedly until that mode appearson the display. If you pick up the microphone while no signal is beingreceived, operation will shift to a particular channel.Which channel that will be depends on which of thefollowing options the dealer has programmed for off-hookchannel selection: Scan Start Channel Lifting the microphone causes operation to revert to thegroup and channel last selected before scanning startedor resumed. Priority RevertLifting the microphone activates the Priority 1 channel inthe current group. If no channel is assigned level 1priority, operation will be on the Priority 2 channel. If no
priority channels have been assigned, operation revertsto the Scan Start Channel. Last BusyLifting the microphone causes operation to revert to thegroup and channel where activity was last detected. If noactivity was detected since turning on the radio, operationreverts to the Scan Start Channel. Voting scan The radio can be programmed for Voting Scan, wherebythe radio will lock onto the strongest signal in a pre-programmed set of channels. The radio is used asnormal, with the exception that transmission is notallowed when the unit is out of range of the nearestrepeater. Consult your Yaesu dealer for more informationregarding this function. Programmable Function Button Low Power With this feature enable, a button toggles between highand low transmitter power, as programmed by the dealer. MONI This function is monitoring for the current channel. SCN This function is start and stop the scanning. HA Horn Alert function On and Off. Call/Reset When this feature is programmed and a selective callhas been received, momentarily press the button to resetthe flashing indicator and mute the receiver, otherwisepress the button to sent your radio’s identification code(ANI) to the dispatcher. Talk Around The feature causes a button to select simplex operationon semi-duplex channels: the transmit frequencybecomes the same as the receive frequency (regardlessof any programmed offset for the channel).Note: This feature has no effect on simplex channels.After pressing the button, ”TA” is displayed on LCD. Encryption When the Voice Scrambler feature is enabled, pressinga button toggles the Scrambler on and off. Alarm Function When the “alarm” function is enabled, pressing a buttoncauses the radio to revert to a specially designatedchannel, and causes the special “alarm” identifier code tobe transmitted automatically.Note: This feature is only available as a “Secondary”accessory to prevent accidental activation. Fuse Replacement If a fuse is blown, before replacing, see if you candetermine if it was caused by something outside of theradio (perhaps a short circuit due to a worn cable orpigtail near the radio). Contact your Ysesu dealer at onceif you do not find the cause. Replace fuses only with thesame type installed. This is device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.Operation is subject to the condition that this device doesnot cause harmful interference.
