PERATING MANUAL
Congratulations!
You now have at your fingertips a valuable communications tool – a Yaesu two-way radio! Rugged, reliable and easy to use, your Yaesu radio will keep you in touch for years to come, with negligible maintenance.
Please take a few minutes to r ead this manual caref ully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your radio.
After reading it, keep the manual handy for quick reference, in case questions arise later on.
We're glad you joined the Yaesu team. Call on us any time, because our business is communications. Let us help you get your message across.
NOTICE
There are no user-serviceable points inside this transceiver. All service jobs must be referred to your Authorized Service Center or Network Administrator.
Features
The VX-4000 Series are rugged basic-featured FM transceivers designed for flexible mobile and base station business communications in the 50-watts VHF and 40­watts UHF A highly integrated surface mount circ uit design and a die-cast aluminum chassis assure reliability. Selectable power output of LOW(5 – 25 watts) or High (VHF:50watts, UHF:40watts) without the need of forced air cooling is possible due to the large heatsink surface area of the compartmentalized one-piece diecast chassis.
The 250-channels m emories c an each be progr amm ed with a 8-character channel name.
A 39-tone programmable CTCSS encoder/decoder is built in as standard.
A 104 standerd digital codes programmable DCS encoder/decoder is built in as standard.
Important channel frequenc y data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the CPU, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer and the Yaesu Software.

EXT SP (External Speaker)
16 An external loudspeaker may be connected to this 2­contact, 3.5-mm mini-phone jack.
Caution: Do not connect this line to ground, and be certain that the speaker has adequate capability to handle the audio output from the radio.
13.8V DC Cable w/Connector
17 The supplied DC power cable must be connected to this 2-pin connector. Use only the supplied fused cable, extended if necessary, for power connection.
DSUB 25-Pin Accessory Connector

Basic Operation of the Transceiver
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. Push the POW ER switch turn on the radio. The dis play will become illuminated. The radio will start up on the last channel used prior to shutdown during the previous operating session.
Transmitting
To transmit, wait until the “BUSY” indicator is off (the channel is not in use), and press the PTT (Push-To-Talk) switch on the side of the microphone (the “TX ” lamp will glow red). While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the mic rophone in a clear, nor m al voice level, and then release the PTT switch to receive.
Automatic Time-Out Timer
If the selected channel has been programmed for automatic time-out, you must limit the length of each transmission. W hile transmitting, a beep will sound five seconds before time-out. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the “T X” indic ator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmitting, you must release the PT T and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire (if you press the PT T before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you will have to wait another “penalty” period).
Scanning Operation
With the microphone in its hanger, press the SCAN button momentarily to activate scanning. Typically, “DSC” will initially appear on the display, indicating Dealer Channel Scan as the scanning mode. If you wish to change to one of the m odes described in the list above, press the SEL button repeatedly until that mode appears on the display.
If you pick up the microphone while no signal is being received, operation will shift to a particular channel. Which channel that will be depends on which of the following options the dealer has programmed for off-hook channel selection:
Scan Start Channel
Lifting the microphone c auses oper ation to revert to the group and channel last selected before s canning started or resumed.
Priority Revert
Lifting the microphone activates the Priority 1 channel in the current group. If no channel is assigned level 1 priority, operation will be on the Priority 2 channel. If no
Page 3
priority channels have been assigned, operation reverts to the Scan Start Channel.
Last Busy
Lifting the microphone c auses operation to revert to the group and channel where activity was last detected. If no activity was detected since turning on the radio, operation reverts to the Scan Start Channel.
Voting scan
The radio can be programmed for Voting Scan, whereby the radio will lock onto the strongest signal in a pre­programmed set of channels. The radio is used as normal, with the exception that transmission is not allowed when the unit is out of range of the nearest repeater. Consult your Yaesu dealer for more information regarding this function.
Programmable Function Button
Low Power
With this featur e enable, a button toggles between high and low transmitter power, as programmed by the dealer.
MONI
This function is monitoring for the current channel.
SCN
This function is start and stop the scanning.
HA
Horn Alert function On and Off.
Call/Reset
When this feature is program med and a selective call has been received, momentarily press the button to reset the flashing indicator and mute the receiver, otherwise press the button to sent your radio’s identification code (ANI) to the dispatcher.
Talk Around
The feature causes a button to select sim plex operation on semi-duplex channels: the transmit frequency becomes the sam e as the receive fr equency (regardless of any programmed offset for the channel).
Note: This feature has no effect on simplex channels. After pressing the button, ”TA” is displayed on LCD.
Encryption
W hen the Voice Scram bler f eature is enabled, press ing a button toggles the Scrambler on and off.
Alarm Function
When the “alarm ” f unc tion is enabled, pres s ing a button causes the radio to revert to a specially designated channel, and causes the special “alarm” identifier code to be transmitted automatically.
Note: This feature is only available as a “Secondary” accessory to prevent accidental activation.
Fuse Replacement
If a fuse is blown, before replacing, see if you can determine if it was caused by something outside of the radio (perhaps a short circuit due to a worn cable or pigtail near the radio). Contact your Ysesu dealer at once if you do not find the cause. Replace fuses only with the same type installed.
This is device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
