VX-4500/4600 Series

VHF/UHF Mobile Radios

SPECIFICATION SHEET

Optimized Mobile Communications

The VX-4500/4600 mobile radios are packed with enhanced
features and signaling performance for increased communications

exibility and worker safety.

Expanded Signaling and Security

Both radios provide a full range of signaling capabilities including 2-tone, 5-tone
and MDC 1200

®

encode/decode for selective calling.

Private communication is supported by built-in voice inversion encryption. And,

if a radio is ever lost or stolen, 5-tone remote stun/kill/revive can be activated to

ensure messages are only heard by those intended.

Enhanced Audio Performance

Features Channel Announcement which loudly speaks the current channel
description to simplify changing channels when focused on other tasks
simultaneously.

Includes voice activation (VOX) that enables users to transmit voice without

pressing the Push to Talk button on the microphone. Enables hands-free operation
for convenience.

In noisy environments, activate the Clear Voice function to enhance audio transmit
to ensure your message is heard. And, to ensure a radio is not accidentally turned
down too low, a minimum volume limit can be programmed by your Dealer.

Whisper capability is also included to augment audio transmit when talking quietly
is necessary for discreet communications.

Record and store up to 120 seconds for keeping an audible record of important

messages using the optional DVS-8 Voice Storage unit.

When Safety Counts

As with all Vertex Standard mobile radios, the VX-4500/4600 Series includes
Emergency alert for enhanced driver safety.

Operators can activate the Lone Worker function when leaving equipment
or a vehicle temporarily. If a problem arises while away, the radio switches to
Emergency mode to alert help.

When constant contact is required at all times, Vertex Standard’s exclusive
Auto-Range Transpond System (ARTS

™

) is also included to inform the user that

another ARTS

™

-equipped radios are within communication range.

Large Group Communications Made Easy to Manage

The VX-4600 has 512-channel capacity and 32 groups to easily manage a variety of calls
at the most complex job site. For smaller operations, the VX-4500 features 8 channels.

FCC Narrowband Compliant

Meets the FCC Part 90 requirement for using 12.5 kHz channels by January 1, 2013.
