SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION

WARNING - DO NOT operate the VX-2200 (LTR) radio when any 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 dBd.
The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum op­erating duty factor not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk configurations.

This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only
where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure
conditions of its 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 VX-2200(LTR) Series are full-featured FM transceivers designed for flexible
mobile and base station business communications in the VHF or UHF Land Mobile
bands. These transceiver are designed for reliable business communications in a
wide variety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by
their leading-edge design.

The 128-channel memories can each be programmed with a 8-character channel
name.

Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the
CPU, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer and the
VERTEX STANDARD Programming Cable and CE94 Software.

The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-

2200(LTR) 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.

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.

FCC ID: K6610844740/IC ID: 511B-10844740

Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power con­nections have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the
antenna jack.

Switching Power ON/OFF

 Turn the VOL/PWR knob turn on the radio. The display will become illuminated.
 Press the [T]/[S] button to choose the desired operating group. A group name

will appear on the display. If you want to select an operating group from a
different zone, press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is pro­grammed to the Zone Up/Down feature to select the zone you want before se­lecting the operating group. See page 7 for more information on the Program­mable Function keys.

Setting the Volume

 Turn the VOL/PWR knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclock-

wise to decrease it.

Transmitting

CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM

 To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.

THIS IS AN FCC REQUIRMENT!

 Press the PF button which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen for

channel activity.

 When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio

cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.

 Press the PTT switch.
 If the channel is clear, the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. The radio is now

transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the micro­phone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone
about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch to receive.

 If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, the

radio will not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate
a short beep three times and indicate “*
PTT switch and wait for the channel to be clear of activity.

 If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout has been programmed on a

channel, the radio can transmit only when there is no carrier being received or
when the carrier being received includes the correct CTCSS tone or DCS code.

CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM

 Press the PTT switch.
 When a channel is available, the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. The radio is

now transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the
microphone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the micro­phone about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch
to receive.

 If all channels are busy, a continuous tone will be heard from the radio, and the

BUSYBUSY

“

BUSY” notation will appear on the display when the PTT switch is pressed.

BUSYBUSY

Release the PTT switch.

 If the radio is out of range during the transmitting attempt, slow beeps will be

heard followed by a continuous tone from the radio.

Automatic Time-Out Timer

If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit
the length of each transmission. While transmitting, a beep will sound 10 seconds
before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red “TX”
indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans­mitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire
(if you press the PTT switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you
will have to wait another “penalty” period)

Key Lock

In order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, various
aspects of the transceiver’s keys may be locked out.

To activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [P1] key while turning the
radio on. To disable the Locking feature, repeat this power-on procedure.

Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to activate the Talk Around
feature when you are operating on duplex channel systems (separate receive and
transmit frequencies, utilizing a “repeater” 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.

When the “TA” function is activated, the “ ” icon will be indicated on the dis­play.

Note that your dealer may have mode 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.

ARTS (Auto Range Transpond System)

This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped sta­tion are within communication range.

During ARTS operation, when the radio receives an incoming ARTS signal, a short
beep will sound, and “IN SVC” (“In Service”) notation will be displayed on the
display for 2 seconds. If you move out of range for more than two minutes, your
radio senses that no signal has been received; a short triple-beep will sound, and
“OUT SVC” (“Out of Service”) notation will be displayed on the display for 2
seconds. If you subsequently move back into communication range, as soon as the
other station transmits, a short beep will sound and “IN SVC” notation will be dis­played again on the display for 2 seconds.

DTMF Paging System

This system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.

When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches yours,
your radio’s squelch will open and the alert will sound. The three-digit code of the
station which paged you will be displayed on your radio’s display.
