Mobile Bands. Each model is designed for reliable business communications in a wide
variety of applications, with a wide range of operating capability provided by its leadingedge design.
The 250-channels 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 VERTEX STANDARD CT-71 Programming Cable and CE49 Software.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-5500
transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this equipment for use in your

BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER
Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power connections have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the antenna jack.
Switching Power ON/OFF
Push the POWER switch turn on the radio. The display will become illuminated. The
radio will start up on the last channel used prior to shut-down during the previous
operating session.
Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to choose the desired operating channel. A channel name will appear on the display. If you want to select the operating channel from a
different Memory Channel Group, press the UP (p) or DOWN (q) button to select
the Memory Channel Group you want before selecting the operating channel.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOLUME knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to
decrease it. 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 VOLUME knob for the desired audio level. Press and hold the MON button more than 1/2
seconds to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring.
Transmitting
To transmit, wait until the “BUSY” indicator is off (the channel is not in use), and
press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch on the side of the microphone (the “TX” indicator will appear or the “TX” indicator will glow red). While holding in the PTT switch,
speak across the face of the microphone in a clear, normal voice level, and then release
the PTT switch to receive.
Selecting Groups and Channels
m Press the UP (p) or DOWN (q) button (repeatedly, if necessary) to select a
different group of channels.
m Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to select a different channel within the current
group.
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)

Channel Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple signals programmed into the transceiver. While scanning, the transceiver will check each channel for the presence of a
signal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present.
To activate scanning:
m Press the assigned PF button of the “Scan” momentarily to activate scanning.
m The scanner will search the channels, looking for active ones; it will pause each
time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
To stop scanning
m Press the assigned PF button of the “Scan”.
m Operation will revert to the channel to which the CHANNEL selector knob is set.
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:
r Current channel (“Talk Back”)
r “Last Busy” channel
r “Priority” channel
r “Home” channel
r “Scan Start” channel

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
(or 55) seconds (the interval is programmed by Dealer) in an attempt to Shake hands with
the other station.
If you move out of range for more than one minutes, your radio senses that no signal has
been received, a ringing beeper will sound. If you subsequently move back into range, as
soon as the other station transmits, your beeper will sound.
The PF Button Function
The PF (Programmable Function) button can be programmed by the dealer to provide
two of the other functions described below.
To activate the primary Accessory function, press the PF button momentarily. To access
the secondary Accessory function (which may include the Alarm), press and hold the PF
button for 1.5 seconds or longer.
Call/Reset
When this feature is programmed and a selective call has been received, momentarily press the assigned PF button of the “Call/Reset” to reset the flashing indicator
and mute the receiver, otherwise press the assigned PF button of the “Call/Reset” to
sent your radio’s identification code (ANI) to the dispatcher.
Talk-Around
The feature causes the assigned PF button of the “Talk-Around” to select simplex
operation on semi-duplex channels: the transmit frequency becomes the same as the
receive frequency (regardless of any programmed offset for the channel).
Note:This feature has no effect on simplex channels. After pressing the button,
“-TAKARD-” is displayed on the LCD.
Alpha Numeric
Press the assigned PF button of the “Alpha Numeric” to switch the display between
the Group/Channel number, and the Group/Channel name (alphanumeric). A tone
will sound each time you switch between numerical and alphanumerical display.
DIM
Press the assigned PF button of the “DIM” to adjust the brightness of the display and
key backright.
