EASY USER INTERFACE
8-CHARACTER ALPHANUMERIC, INVERTIBLE LCD DISPLAY
Providing indication of either the channel number or an Alphanumeric
Channel Label of up to 8 characters, the LCD display may be inverted when
the radio is worn on the body. Convenient operation function icons provide
instant recognition of radio status. And the display is canted forward 15...
from horizontal to ensure
easy visibility over a wide
SIXTEEN-POSITION ROTARY CHANNEL SELECTOR
The top panel s rugged rotary switch may be used for channel selection,
or for selection of the desired Memory Group.
KEY LOCK
A soft key may be assigned as a Key Lock control, to prevent inadvertent
frequency change or unwanted activation/de-activation of functions. This
is especially valuable in surveillance operations, where the radio may be
concealed and subject to accidental pressure on its keys.
ERGONOMIC CONSTRUCTION
The carefully-engineered case construction features a
gently rounded shape for a solid grip, whether the radio
is wet or dry. Its over-sized front panel keys are easy to
activate, even for users with large fingers.
SECURITY
EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS
The VX-900 may be programmed to transmit an
emergency DTMF ENI burst, with or without a live
microphone engaged, to alert the dispatcher to an
emergency situation requiring assistance to the officer.
ENCRYPTION
The FVP-25 Encryption Unit provides security for your important
public safety and private security communications, and it also includes
a DTMF Paging function for selective calling.
EMBEDDED MESSAGE
At the time of programming, an I.D. number may be imbedded in the
radio s memory, allowing identification of a stolen radio if its serial
number or other external identification tags have been removed.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE VERSION AVAILABLE
Included in the VX-900 Intrinsically Safe version s certification is
approval for use in the hazardous Hydrogen and Acetylene
environments.
RADIO-TO-RADIO CLONE FEATURE
