Inportant Notice!
H Please read this manual carefully to become familiar with
the features of this transceiver.
H When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position
with its microphone 2.5 to 5 cm away from your mouth
and keep the antenna at least 2.5cm away from your head
and body.
H The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty
cycle not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk (PTT)
configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50 % of
total radio use time (50 % duty cycle). Transmitting more
than 50 % of the time can cause FCC RF exposure com-
pliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of
the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to trans-
mit by pressing the PTT button or by using the VOX
headset, model VC-25.
H DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn
configuration with the following accessory: belt-clip.
It must be used ONLY for (1) there is a 4 cm distance
from the body during transmitting, (2) monitoring pur-
poses, using the speaker only and (3) for carrying pur-
poses.
H Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.
Notice !
There are no owner-serviceable parts inside the transceiver.
All service jobs must be referred to an authorized VER-
TEX STANDARD Service Representative. Consult your Au-
thorized VERTEX STANDARD Dealer for installation of
optional accessories.
Before You Begin
Battery Pack Installation and Removal
Ì To install the battery, hold the transceiver with your left hand,
so your palm is over the speaker and your thumb is on the top
of the belt clip. Insert the battery pack into the battery com-
partment on the back of the radio while tilting the Belt Clip
outward, then close the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in
place with a "Click."
Insert the Battery Pack
Close the Battery Pack Latch
Ì To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any pro-
tective cases. Open the Battery Pack latch on the bottom of
the radio, then slide the battery downward and out from the
radio while holding the Belt Clip.
Caution!
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Ni-Cd
packs, as they could explode if accidentally short-circuited.
Low Battery Indication
Ì As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually
becomes lower. When the battery voltage becomes to low,
substitute a freshly charged battery and recharge the depleted
pack. The TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will
blink red when the battery voltage is low.
Ì Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries often with little use between
charges, as this can degrade the charge capacity. We recom-
mend that you carry an extra, fully-charged pack with you so
1 the operational battery may be used until depletion (this "deep
cycling" technique promotes better long-term battery capac-
ity).
