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.
The display should show either a channel number or scan mode indicator (DSC,
USC, GDS, GUS, PDS, PUS, DDW or UDW). If “ERR” is displayed instead, the
transceiver has not yet been programmed with channel frequencies; switch off the
power and contact your network administrator or VERTEX STANDARD dealer. If
a scan mode indicator is displayed, you can press the SCAN button to display a
channel number, and then press either the UP (!) or DOWN (") button to change
channels.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to decrease it.
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.
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).
Selecting Groups and Channels
% Press the UP (!) or DOWN (") button (repeatedly, if necessary) to select a different group of channels.
% Turn the CHANNEL selector knob to select a different channel within the current
group.

Scanning Modes
There are eight scanning modes, described in the list below. Each channel can be
independently enabled or disabled for scanning; only channels selected for scanning
within the enabled group are scanned. Also, as mentioned before, each group can
have up to two priority channels which are scanned more often than the non-priority
channels.
The SCAN modes and their corresponding displays are as follows:
Display
Scanning Function
DSC
USC
GDS
GUS
PDS
PUS
DDW
UDW
Dealer Scan (only within the current group)
User Scan: only user-selected channels (only within the current group)
Group Dealer Scan: scan all Dealer-selected channels in all groups
Group User Scan: scan all User-selected channels in all groups
Priority Dealer Scan: DSC plus priority channel(s)
Priority User Scan: USC plus user priority channel(s)
Dealer Dual Watch: Monitor one channel and priority channel(s)
User Dual Watch: Monitor User-selected channel and priority channel(s)
Scanning Operation
With the microphone in its hanger, press the assigned Programmable Function
Button of the “SCAN” momentarily to activate scanning. Typically, “DSC” will
initially appear on the display, indicating Dealer Channel Scan as the scanning mode.
If you wish to change to one of the modes described in the list above, press the
assigned Programmable Function Button of the “SEL” button repeatedly until
that mode appears on the display.
If you pick up the microphone while no signal is being received, operation will shift
to a particular channel. Which channel that will be depends on which of the following options the dealer has programmed for off-hook channel selection:
Scan Start Channel
Lifting the microphone causes operation to revert to the group and channel last selected before scanning started or resumed.
Priority Revert
Lifting the microphone activates the Priority 1 channel in the current group. If no
channel is assigned level 1 priority, operation will be on the Priority 2 channel. If no
priority channels have been assigned, operation reverts to the Scan Start Channel.
Last Busy
Lifting the microphone causes operation to revert to the group and channel where
activity was last detected. If no activity was detected since turning on the radio,
operation reverts to the Scan Start Channel.

VX-6000 Operating Manual
How to Select Channels to be Scanned
If your radio has been configured by your Dealer to allow you, the operator, to make
changes to the list of channels to be scanned, you can make these changes by following
this simple process:
! Press and hold in the SEL button; while holding this button in, press the POWER
button to turn the radio on. You may now release the ?? button.
" Press the ?? button, as necessary, until the Memory Group and Memory Channel
numbers will appear in small characters in the right side of the display area.
# You may now push the ?? key momentarily as many times as necessary to choose
the Memory Group within which you wish to make changes to the channel scan
list. Once you have selected the desired Memory Group, you may use the UP (!)
or DOWN (") button to choose a particular channel within the current group.
Pressing the ?? button will change the scanning status of the selected channel.
If you are adding the channel to those you wish to scan, pressing the ?? button
causes a “U” appear on the display, indicating that the channel has been added to
the User Scan List. If you are deleting the channel from the User Scan List (the
channel's data itself will not be deleted; the channel just will not be scanned), the
“U” will disappear.
$ Repeat step 3 for each channel you wish to enable or disable for scanning.
& When you are done making changes to the channels you wish to scan, press and
hold in the ?? button for more than 1.5 second. Operation will return to its normal
status, and the display will revert to its previous appearance.

VX-6000 Operating Manual
How to Change the “User Priority” Channels
Your Dealer may have configured your radio so as to allow you to make changes to the
“User Priority” Channels (the channels you designate to be scanned more frequently than
the others). The selection process is almost identical to that used for making changes to
the User Scan List.
! Turn the transceiver OFF by press the POWER button.
" Press and hold in the ?? button; while holding this button in, press the POWER
button to turn the radio on. You may now release the ?? button.
# Press the ?? button, as necessary, until the Memory Group and Memory Channel
numbers will appear in large characters in the right side of the display area (as
compared to small characters in the case of changes to the Scan List).
$ You may now push the ?? button momentarily as many times as necessary to choose
the Memory Group within which you wish to make changes to the User Priority
Channel(s). Once you have selected the desired Memory Group, you may use the
UP (!) or DOWN (") button to choose a particular channel within the current
group.
Pressing the ?? button will change/assign the Priority status of the selected channel.
If you are assigning the channel to Priority status, pressing the ?? button causes
“Pr1” or “Pr2” to flash on the display, indicating that the channel has been assigned the status of Priority 1 or Priority 2, respectively. Pressing the ?? button
repeatedly toggles the Priority Level between “1” and “2.” If you are deleting the
channel from Priority status, the “Prn” indicator will disappear.
& Repeat step 4 for each channel you wish to assign to or delete from Priority status.
' When you are done making changes to the Priority Channels, press and hold in the
?? button for more than 1.5 second. Operation will return to its normal status, and
the display will revert to its previous appearance.

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.
