Congratulations!
You now have at your fingertips a valuable communications tool-a Motorola Solutions two-way radio! Rugged, reliable and easy to use, your Motorola Solutions radio will keep you in constant touch with your colleagues for years to come, with negligible maintenance down-time. Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio, in case questions arise later on.
Important Note
rThere are no owner-serviceable parts inside the radio. All service jobs must be referred to an authorized Motorola Solutions Service Representative. Consult your Authorized Motorola Solutions Dealer for installation of optional accessories.
rIn order to maintain the specified water integrity performance, periodic maintenance is recommended.
rShould the radio sustain a severe shock (e.g. if it is dropped), the water integrity may be compromised, requiring service. Should this occur, contact your Authorized Motorola Solutions Dealer.
Important Notice for North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have requested the cooperation of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in preserving the integrity of the protected frequency range 406.0 to 406.1 MHz, which is reserved for use by distress beacons. Do not attempt to program this apparatus, under any circumstances, for operation in the frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near North America.
Warning - Frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use ONLY as a distress beacon by the US Coast Guard and NOAA. Under no circumstance should this frequency band be part of the pre-programmed operating frequencies of this radio.

Introduction
The VX-451 
allows to 32-channel capacity and 2 groups. The VX-454/-459 allows to 512-channel capacity and 32 groups which can each be programmed with an 8-character Alpha-Numeric Tag.
The IS version of the VX-450 series are full-featured hand-held FM transceivers which meets the requirements of Intrinsic Safety. These transceivers are designed for reliable business communications in the VHF or UHF Land Mobile bands with a wide variety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by their lead- ing-edge design.
Caution: To acquire the IS version of the VX-450 series you much select the Intrinsically Safe battery option at the time of purchase.
Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the CPU, and is easily programmable by Motorola Solutions dealers using a personal computer and the Motorola Solutions Programming Cable and CE115 Software.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided in the VX-450 series transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this equipment for use in your application.

rNever charge the battery in the hazard areas.
rNever install/removal the battery in the hazard areas.
rNever install/remove the optional unit (includes the Speaker/Microphone and VOX Headset) in the hazard areas.
rThe VX-450 shall not be directly installed or used in any process where its enclosure might be electrostatically charged by the rapid flow of a non-conductive media.
rEnsure that there is no external damage to the radio, antenna or battery before entering the potentially explosive atmospheres, as it might compromise the safety of the unit. eg an antenna with a damaged end or insulation must be replaced before use in any potentially explosive atmospheres.
rSubstitution of components may impair intrinsic safety. Installation of FNB-V134LIIS-UNI does NOT convert normal VX-450 into IS version.
rTo acquire the IS version of the VX-450 series you much select the Intrinsically Safe battery option at the time of purchase.

Important Safety Information
English
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com
Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola Solutions, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
