SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION
WARNING - DO NOT operate the VX-2500 radio when any person(s) (by-
standers) 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 op-
erating 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 condi-
tions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separa-
tion distance shown below.
Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF ex-
posure limits.
Antenna Installation:
For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the fol-
lowing 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.

INTRODUCTION
For North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Admin-
istration 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 fre-
quency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near
North America.
The VX-2500 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 vari-
ety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided by their lead-
ing-edge design.
The 128-channel memories can each be programmed with an 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 VER-
TEX STANDARD VPL-1 Programming Cable and CE52 Software.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-
2500 transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with your Net-
work Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this equipment
for use in your application

BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER
Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power con-
nections 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 illumi-
nated.
Press the []/[]button to choose the desired operating channel. A channel
name will appear on the display. If you want to select an operating channel from
a different group, press the []/[]button to select the group you want before
selecting the operating channel.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOL/PWR knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclock-
wise to decrease it.
Transmitting
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 can-
not receive a call and transmit simultaneously.
Press the PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the BUSY/TX indicator will glow red. The radio is now
transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the mi-
crophone 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 re-
ceive.
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
continuous low-pitched tone while the PTT switch is pressed. Release the 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.

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 “ ” indi-
cator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume transmit-
ting, 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)
