VX-4500 Series
Introduction
This manual provides the technical information necessary for servicing the VX-4500/-4600 Series Mobile Transceiver.
Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handing surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to
service this equipment may result in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and may be illegal in some countries.
Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-sided board in this transceiver. Each side of the board is referred to by the
type of the majority of components installed on that side ("Side A" or "Side B"). In most cases one side has only chip components
(surface-mount devices), and the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic
capacitors, ICs, etc.), or leaded components only.
As described in the pages to follow, the advanced microprocessor design of the VX-4500/-4600 allows a complete alignment of
this transceiver to be performed without opening the case of the radio; all adjustments can be performed from the personal
computer, using with the Vertex Standard FIF-12 USB Programming Interface and CE115 Software.
While we believe the information in this manual to be correct, Vertex Standard assumes no liability for damage that may occur as
a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies in the technical
information would be appreciated.
The VX-4500/-4600 was assembled using Pb (lead) free solder, based on the RoHS specification.
Only lead-free solder (Alloy Composition: Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu) should be used for repairs performed on this apparatus. The
solder stated above utilizes the alloy composition required for compliance with the lead-free specification, and any solder
with the above alloy composition may be used.
