E C 0 1 3 N 7 5 0 VERTEX STANDARD CO., LTD. 4-8-8 Nakameguro, Meguro-Ku, Tokyo 153-8644, Japan VERTEX STANDARD US Headquarters 17210 Edwards Rd., Cerritos, CA 90703, U.S.A. IMPORTANT NOTICE!

FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only:

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards and Guide-

lines:

r FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation. r FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. r ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency r ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromag-

Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. netic Fields - RF and Microwave. m This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowl-

edge to control its RF exposure conditions. m When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth and keep the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body. m The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk 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 compliance 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 transmit by pressing the P-T-T button. m DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn configuration with the following accessory: belt-clip

(Parts # CP7064001). It must be used ONLY for (1) there is a 4 cm distance from the body during transmitting,

(2) monitoring purposes, using the speaker only and (3) for carrying purposes. m Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories. Low Battery Indication r As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradu-

ally becomes lower. When the battery voltage reaches 6.3 volts, substitute a freshly charged battery and re-

charge the depleted pack. The TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will blink red when the battery voltage is low. r Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries often with little use between charges, as this can degrade the charge ca-

pacity. We recommend that you carry an extra, fully-

charged pack with you so the operational battery may be used until depletion (this deep cycling technique promotes better long-term battery capacity). Operation Preliminary Steps r Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. r Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. Never attempt to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. r If you have a Speaker/Microphone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the VX-160/-180. Operation Quick Start r To turn the top panels VOL/PWR knob clock-

wise to turn on the radio on. r Turn the top panels CH selector knob to choose the desired operating channel. r Rotate the VOL/PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present, press and hold the MONITOR key (the lower button on the left side) more than 2 sec-

onds; background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the de-

sired audio level. r Press and hold the MONI-

TOR key more than 2 seconds (or press the MONITOR key twice) to quiet the noise and re-

sume normal (quiet) monitoring. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this de-

vice does not cause harmful interference. r To transmit, press and hold the PTT switch. Speak into the micro-

phone area of the front panel grille (lower left-

hand corner) in a normal voice level. To return to the Receive mode, re-

lease the PTT switch. r If a Speaker/Microphone is available, remove the plas-

tic cap and its two mounting screws from the right side of the transceiver, then insert the plug from the Speaker/Microphone into the MIC/SP jack; secure the plug using the screws supplied with the Speaker/

Microphone. Hold the speaker grille up next to your ear while receiving. To transmit, press the PTT switch on the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on the main transceivers body. Note:Save the original plastic cap and its mounting screws. They should be re-installed when not using the Speaker/Microphone. Key Functions (VX-180 only) The VX-180 have the [A], [B], and [C] function keys and MONITOR key. These Soft keys functions can be customized, via programming by your VERTEX STAN-

DARD dealer, to meet your communications/network re-

quirements. Some features may require the purchase and installation of optional internal accessories. The possible Soft key programming features are illustrated below, and their functions are explained next chapter. For further de-

tails, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer. For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to the Soft key on your particular radio, and keep it handy. Function Soft Key

[C] MONITOR Monitor Scan Dual Watch Talk Around TX Save Off Follow-me Dual Watch Channel Up Channel Down Call/Reset Lamp Speed Dial Low Power Lock Add/Del None Description of Operating Functions Monitor Press the assigned Soft key momentarily to disable the Tone squelch. Press and hold the assigned Soft key more than 2 sec-

onds to disable the Noise and Tone squelch. Repeatedly press and hold the assigned Soft key more than 2 sec-

onds (or press the assigned Soft key twice) to resume the Noise and Tone squelch. Scan The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple chan-

nels 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. r To activate scanning:

Press the assigned Soft key. The scanner will search the channels, looking for ac-

tive ones; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. r To stop scanning:

Press the assigned Soft key. Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. Dual Watch The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two channels are monitored: The current operating channel; and the Priority channel. r To activate Dual Watch:

Press the assigned Soft key. The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. r To stop Dual Watch:

Press the assigned Soft key. Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set. Talk Around Press the assigned Soft to activate the Talk Around fea-

ture when you are operating on duplex channel systems

(separate receive and transmit frequencies, utilizing a re-

peater station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater station and talk directly to a station that is nearby. This feature has no effect when you are operating on Simplex channels, where the receive and transmit frequencies are already the same. Note that your dealer may have made provision for Talk Around channels by programming repeater and Talk Around frequencies on two adjacent channels. If so, the key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed Functions. TX Save Off Press the assigned Soft key to disable the Transmit Bat-

tery Saver, if you are operating in a location where high power is almost always needed. The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing transmit power when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received. Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held radio may not be heard well at the other end of the communication path, and high power may be necessary at all times. Follow-Me Dual Watch To set up a Dual Watch frequency pair using the Fol-

low-Me feature, select a channel using the CH selector knob. Now press the assigned Soft key; pressing the as-

signed Soft key locks the current channel as the User-

assigned Priority Channel. Now rotate the CH selector knob to another channel (not the Scanning Start chan-

nel). Your radio will now switch back-and-forth between the currently-selected channel (shown on the CH selec-

tor knob) and the User-assigned Priority Channel. During Follow-Me scanning (after you have pressed the key), you can set up the Dual Watch feature by ro-

tating the CH selector knob to another channel. The ra-

dio will then scan back and forth between the original User-assigned Priority Channel and the newly-selected channel. The Priority Channel you have assigned (before pressing the key) will be retained in memory until you change it. Channel Up Press the assigned Soft key to increase operating chan-

nel. Channel Down Press the assigned Soft key to decrease operating chan-

nel. Call/Reset When the 2-tone selective calling unit is installed, press the assigned Soft key to silence the receiver and reset for another call, when a communication is finished. Lamp Press the assigned Soft key to illuminate the LCD for five second. Speed Dial Your Dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial tele-

phone number memories into your radio. To dial a number, just press the Dealer-assigned Soft key for Speed Dialing. The DTMF tones sent during the dial-

ing sequence will be heard in the speaker. Low Power Press the assigned Soft key to set the radio's transmitter to the "Low Power" mode, thus extending battery life. Press the assigned Soft key again to return to High Power operation when in difficult terrain. Lock Press the assigned Soft key to lock the Soft key, CH knob, and PTT switch (except Lock key); this can be enabled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed. Add/Del Add/Del feature can be arranged Scan list by the User. Press the assigned Soft key to delete/restore the current channel to/from your scanning list. When you delete a current channel, -SKIP- will appear on the LCD for one second after pressing the Soft key. When you restore a current channel, -STOP- will ap-

pear on the LCD for one second after pressing the Soft key.
