Congratulations!

You now have at your ngertips a valuable communications tool: a Vertex Standard two-way radio! Rugged, reliable and easy to use, your Vertex Standard radio will keep you in constant touch with your colleagues for years to come, with negligible maintenance downtime.

Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio.

We’re glad you joined the Vertex Standard team. Call on us anytime, because communications is our business. Let us help you get your message across.

Notice !

There are no owner-serviceable parts inside the transceiver. All service jobs must be referred to an authorized Vertex Standard Service Representative. Consult your Authorized Vertex Standard dealer for installation of optional accessories.

Safety/WarNiNg iNformatioN

WARNING - DO NOT operate the

EVX-5300/-5400

person(s) (bystanders) outside the vehicle are within the distances shown in the chart at the bottom of this section.

Safety Training information:

Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBi. The radio must be used in vehicle-mount congurations with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk congurations.

This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure limits of passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance shown below.

Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.

Antenna Installation:

For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the following distance away from rear-seat passengers in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements.

For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.

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! Fcc rF ExposurE rEquIrEmEnts

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS: (1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.

THE GRANTEE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WarnIng! Ic rss gEnEral rEquIrEmEnts

English

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the 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.

Antennas used for this transmitter (identify the device by certication number,

or model number if Category II) must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBi. The radio must be used in vehicle-mount congurations with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk congurations. Antenna types having a gain greater than 0 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

FrEnch

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables

aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur ra-

dio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.

Antennes utilisées pour cet émetteur (identier le dispositif par son numéro de

certication ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie II) ne doit pas dépasser un gain de l’antenne de 0 dBi. La radio doit être utilisée dans des congurations de montage en véhicule avec un maximum d’utilisation en fonctionnement n’excédant ne pas 50 %, dans des congurations typiques de Push-to-Talk. Types d’antenne ayant un gain supérieur à 0 dBi sont strictement interdits pour une tilisation avec cet appareil.
