Monitor
Press the
ACC
button to override (disable) the Tone Squelch.
Background noise or incoming signals will now be heard whether or not a match-
ing tone is present on the signal. Press the
ACC
button once more to resume
normal (quiet) Tone Squelch action.
Squelch OFF
Press the
ACC
button to override both the Noise and Tone squelch systems.
Again press the
ACC
button to resume normal (quiet) Noise and Tone squelch
action.
Low Power
Press the
ACC
button to set the radio's transmitter to the “Low Power” mode,
thus extending battery life. Press the
ACC
button again to return to “High Power”
operation when in difficult terrain.
Scan
The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple channels programmed into the
transceiver. While scanning, the radio will check each channel for the presence
of a signal, and will stop on a channel if a signal is present.
r
To activate scanning:
Press the
ACC
button.
The scanner will search the channels, looking for “active” ones; it will pause
each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
r
To stop scanning:
Press the
ACC
button.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the
CH
knob is set.
Follow-Me Scan
“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a
User-assigned
Priority Channel regularly as
you scan the other channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of the 8 avail-
able channels) are designated for “Scanning,” the user may nonetheless assign
Channel as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the “Follow-Me” feature.
Press the
ACC
button to activate “Follow-Me” scanning, then
pull and turn
the
CH
selector knob to the channel which you want to designate as the “User-
Assigned Priority Channel”. When the scanner stops on an “active” channel, the
User-assigned Priority Channel will automatically be checked every few seconds.
Dual Watch
The Dual Watch feature is similar to the Scan feature, except that only two chan-
nels are monitored: the current operating channel, and the “Priority” channel.
r
To activate Dual Watch:
Press the
ACC
button.
The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a
channel on which someone is speaking.
r
To stop Dual Watch:
Press the
ACC
button.
Operation will revert to the channel to which the
CH
knob is set.

Important Notice!
FCC RF Exposure Compliance Requirements for Occupational Use Only:
This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) RF exposure limits for Occupational Use/Controlled ex-
posure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Standards
and Guidelines:
r
FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Ra-
dio-Frequency Radiation.
r
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (1997) Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields.
r
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz
to 300 GHz.
r
ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measure-
ment of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Micro-
wave.
m
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an
uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational
use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have
the knowledge to control its RF exposure conditions.
m
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its mi-
crophone 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) away from your mouth and keep
the antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your head and body.
m
The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not
exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk (PTT) configurations.
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50%
duty cycle). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC
RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is
illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing the PTT
button.
m
DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn configura-
tion with the following accessory: belt-clip (Parts # CP7131001). It
must be used ONLY for (1) there is a 4 cm distance from the body
during transmitting, (2) monitoring purposes, using the speaker only
and (3) for carrying purposes.
m
Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.
Talk Around
Press the
ACC
button to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operat-
ing on duplex channel systems (separate receive and transmit frequencies, utiliz-
ing a “repeater” station). The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the re-
peater 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.
Note that your dealer may have made provision for “Talk Around” channels by
programming “repeater” and “Talk Around” frequencies on two adjacent chan-
nels. If so, the
ACC
key may be used for one of the other Pre-Programmed
Functions.
Call/Reset
When the 2-tone selective calling unit is installed, press the
ACC
button to si-
lence the receiver and reset for another call, when a communication is finished.
Speed Dial
Your Dealer may have pre-programmed Auto-Dial telephone number memories
into your radio.
To dial a number, just press the Dealer-assigned
ACC
button for Speed Dialing.
The DTMF tones sent during the dialing sequence will be heard in the speaker.
TX Save Off
Press the
ACC
button to disable the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating
in a location where high power is almost always needed.
The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing transmit power
when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received.
Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held radio may not be heard well
at the other end of the communication path, and high power may be necessary at
all times.
ACC 1
Activates an optional Unit (module) while the
ACC
button is held depressed.
When you release the
ACC
button, the optional Unit will be disabled.
For further details, contact your
VERTEX STANDARD
dealer.
ACC 2
Toggles the optional Unit “on” or “off” whenever you press the
ACC
button.
For example, when the optional “FVP-25” voice encryption unit is installed,
press the
ACC
button momentarily to disable the voice encryption feature tem-
porarily.
Press the
ACC
button again to re-enable the voice encryption feature.
