Powering up the VRX1000 

The VRX1000 powers up together with the MSU. The power up mode and channel are 
programmable. Depending on the programmed personality, the VRX1000 can power up 
in one of the following states: 

  VRX1000 Disabled mode, last selected VRX1000 channel 

 OFF 

mode 

  SYSTEM mode, last selected VRX1000 channel 

  SYSTEM mode, preprogrammed VRX1000 channel 

  LOCAL mode, last selected VRX1000 channel 

  LOCAL mode, preprogrammed VRX1000 channel 

  If the VRX1000 powers up on a ‘strapped’ mobile radio channel, the VRX1000 

will be steered according to the Talk Group selected on the MSU. The steering 
may involve both VRX1000 channel and mode change. 

Turning ON the VRX1000 

When the MSU is powered up, the VRX1000 can be activated by one or more of the 
methods described in the following section.  
 

  The VRX1000 is ON when SYSTEM (or optionally LOCAL) mode of operation is 

selected.  

  The VRX1000 is OFF when OFF mode is selected.  

  The VRX1000 is disabled when a “VRX1000 Disabled” Mode / Channel is 

selected on the APX MSU or if the currently selected VRX1000 and MSU modes 
are incompatible (such as TDMA MSU mode and P25 Digital VRX1000 channel). 

 

NOTE: 

The VRX1000 can only be activated when a compatible “VRX1000 Enabled” mode / 
channel is selected on the APX MSU. 

Activating the VRX1000 via the Control Head 

Ensure the MSU is powered up and a VRX1000 Enabled TG / channel is selected on the 
control head. 
To activate the VRX1000: 

 Press 

the 

DVRS

 menu item to enter the ‘DVR/VRX1000 Control Mode’.  

  Once in the ‘DVR/VRX1000 Control Mode’ screen, press the 

MODE

 button to 

toggle the available VRX1000 modes until the desired mode is selected. 

 Press 

the 

SEL

 button or wait the preprogrammed time until the ‘DVR/VRX1000 

control Mode’ screen times out. The last selected VRX1000 mode becomes 
effective. 

  Long press of the 

DVRS

 menu item can be programmed to turn the VRX1000 

ON/OFF. 

Pressing the 

DVRS

 button allows the user to enter the ‘DVR / VRX1000 Control Mode’ 

and to select the desired VRX1000 mode and channel.
