Front Panel Controls and Switches
POWER Switch
Turn this knob clockwise to turn the radio on. Counterclockwise rotation will turn
the radio off.
SEL Knob
This 12-position detented rotary switch selects the memory channels, and tune the
operating frequency, if your transceiver is configured for use of the VFO feature.
VOL Knob
This control adjusts the audio volume level. Clockwise rotation increases the vol-
ume level.
CLAR (“Clarifier”) Knob
This control allows you to offset the receiving frequency by up to 200 Hz in 10 Hz
steps (SSB, CW, and DATA modes), or up to 400 Hz in 20 Hz steps (AM mode).
This control is helpful in case the incoming signal is drifting.
GND Terminal
If an earth ground connection is available at the operating site, this terminal may be
connected to it to provide improved performance and safety.
ANT Jack
This jack accepts a 50 antenna. If the optional ATU-1210 internal antenna tuner
is enabled, the optional YHA-61 whip antenna (or FHA-27 folding whip antenna
with GN-1210 goose neck) can be connected to this jack directly. Use only a type
PL-259 (type M) plug.

BATTERY PACK INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
To install the Battery Pack, insert the
Battery Pack into the battery compart-
ment on the bottom of the radio, then
secure the Battery Pack using the
Latch Clip on the Battery Pack.
To remove the Battery Pack, turn the
radio off and remove any protective
cases, then unlatch the clip from the
Battery Pack. Place your thumbs on
the edge of the Battery pack, then slide
out the Battery Pack from the radio
while applying light pressure onto it.
Do not attempt to open the Re-
chargeable Battery Pack, as per-
sonal injury or damage to the pack could
occur if a cell or cells become accidentally
short-circuited.

VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL 7
BATTERY CHARGING
It is necessary to charge the Battery Pack fully before its first use.
1. Install the Battery Pack into the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver is switched off.
2. Connect the cable plug from the PA-26 AC Adapter into the INPUT jack on the CD-
17 Charger, then insert the cable plug from the CD-17 Charger into the CHG termi-
nal on the bottom of the transceiver.
3. Connect the AC cable into the AC jack on the PA-26 AC Adapter, then plug the PA-
26 AC Adapter into the AC line outlet.
4. The LED indicator on the CD-17 Charger will glow red (Charging) while the battery
is being charged. When charging is completed, the red LED indicator will change to
green (Fully Charged). A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in about
five hours.
5. Unplug the cable from the CHG terminal, then disconnect the PA-26 AC Adapter
from the AC line outlet.
Do not connect an improper Charger into the CHG terminal.
Do not forget to replace the protective cover.
In rare instances, the CD-17 LED indicator may glow Green (apparently indicat-
ing “Fully Charged”) immediately when you charge a fully-discharged pack. If
this should happen, unplug the cable from the CHG terminal, wait a few seconds,
then re-insert the cable plug into the CHG terminal. Normal charging should then
begin.

Operation
PRELIMINARY STEPS
1. Install a charged Battery Pack onto the transceiver,
as described previously.
2. Connect the MH-50B7A Speaker/Microphone onto
the transceiver; align the connector of the MH-
50B7A to the connector on the left side of the trans-
ceiver body, then secure the connector using the
screws supplied with the MH-50B7A Speaker/Mi-
crophone.
3. If you use this transceiver with the optional YA-30 antenna kit, set up the YA-30
antenna first, then connect the coaxial plug from the YA-30 to the ANT jack of the
transceiver.
Ú:When using the YA-30 dipole antenna, the built-in antenna tuner is not used.
4. If you use this transceiver with the optional whip antenna (YHA-61 or FHA-27w/
GN-1210), connect the whip antenna onto the ANT jack of the transceiver, then con-
nect a good earth ground onto the GND terminal of the transceiver using heavy braided
cable.
Note: The VX-1210 can be used either with a Dipole Antenna (like the YA-30), or the
whip antenna (like the YHA-61), depending on the programming of the transceiver by
your Vertex Standard dealer. For further details, contact your Vertex Standard dealer.

the POWER switch clockwise. “TU ADJTU ADJ
TU ADJTU ADJ
TU ADJ” will appear in the display for three sec-
onds, then the display will return to indication of the channel. Once the radio turns on,
release the SEL knob. The built-in antenna tuner is now engaged.
3. Now, press and hold in the SEL knob for 1/2 second to initiate antenna tuning.
4. Repeat step 3 on all operating channels.
5. Turn the transceiver off to save the new settings.
You may set up the whip antenna using the TOGGLE switch, if your transceiver’s
TOGGLE switch has been assigned to the Antenna Tuning feature. See page 11 for de-
tails regarding Antenna Tuning.
Ú: Requires Optional ATU-1210 Built-in Antenna Tuner and YHA-61 Whip Antenna or
FHA-27 Folding Whip Antenna w/GN-1210 Goose Neck.
Important Note!
If you use the VX-1210 with the optional whip antenna (YHA-61 or FHA-27
w/GN-1210), MUST BE connect a good earth ground onto the GND terminal
of the VX-1210 using heavy braided cable to prevent electrical shock and
proper performance.
The optional whip antenna YHA-61 is for use only short distance communica-
tions. We recommend that using with the optional whip antenna FHA-27 w/
GN-1210, optional dipole antenna YA-30 or other antenna which having the
antenna gain, if you wish to communicate with the faraway station.
