SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION

WARNING - DO NOT operate the VX-7200 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.

VX-7200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The VX-7200 Series are full-featured APCO P25/FM transceiver designed for flex-

ible 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 variety of applications with a wide range of operating capability provided

by their leading-edge design.

The 501-channel memories can each be programmed with a 12-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 (or FIF-12) Programming Cable and CE76 Software.

The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-

7200 Series transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to consult with

your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the configuration of this

equipment for use in your application

For North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band

The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Ad-

ministration have requested the cooperation of the U.S. Federal Communica-

tions 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 frequency range 406.0 - 406.1 MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or

near North America.

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

Press and hold in the (POWER)button for 2 seconds to turn the radio on.

The display will become illuminated.

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 PF (Programmable Function) button which is pro-

grammed to the Group Up/Down feature to select the group you want before

selecting the operating channel. See page 7 for more information on the Pro-

grammable Function keys.

Setting the Volume

Turn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise 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

cannot 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 micro-

phone 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 receive.

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 short beep three times and indicate “*ERROR *” on the display. 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.

VX-7200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL

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 red “TX”

indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans-

mitting, 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)

Key Lock

In order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, various

aspects of the VX-7200’s keys, and PTT switch, may be locked out. The precise

lockout configuration may be configured using the “User Set” (Menu) mode. See

page 16 for detail.

To activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [P4]key while turning the

radio on. To disable the Locking feature, repeat this power-on procedure.

button functions can be customized, via programming by your VERTEX STAN-

DARD dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. Some features

may require the purchase and installation of optional internal accessories. The pos-

sible PF button programming features are illustrated below, and these functions are

Description of Operating Functions

MONITOR (MONI)

Press the assigned programmable key to cancel CTCSS- and DCS-controlled squelch;

the BUSY/TX indicator will glow green. Press and hold in this button for 1.5 sec-

onds to hear background noise (unmute the audio); the BUSY/TX indicator will

blink green.

SQUELCH (SQL)

You can manually adjust the squelch level using this function:

Press the assigned programmable key. A tone will sound, and the current squelch

will level appears on the display.

Press the []/[]button to select the desired squelch level.

Press this key again. A tone will sound, and the display will revert to the normal

channel indication.

DIMMER

Press the assigned programmable key to select the brightness level of the display

and key backlight. Available selections are four levels.

CHANNEL UP/DOWN

Press the assigned programmable key (generally the []/[]button) to select a

different channel within the current group.

GROUP UP/DOWN

Press the assigned programmable key to select a different group of channels. Once

the desired Group is reached, press the Channel Up/Down key (generally the []/

[]button) to select the desired channel within the selected Group.

You may wish to have the Scanner pass through more than one Group during the

scanning process (normally, scanning is performed within the current group only).

To include the current Group in the scanning loop, press and hold in the assigned

programmable key for one second. To remove a Group from Group Scan, press and

hold in the assigned programmable key again for one second.

Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan” list. To edit

the User Scan list, press and hold the assigned programmable key for one second to

delete the current Memory Group from the Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold

the assigned programmable key for one second to delete the Current Memory chan-
