VX-510 OPERATING MANUAL
VX-510 Series
VHF Hand-Held Portable
Land Mobile Transceiver
The VX-510 is a frequency-synthesized, mi-
croprocessor-controlled FM hand-held por-
table transceiver providing up to five watts
of power output on up to 32 channels in the
VHF Land Mobile Bands. Designed specifi-
cally for commercial and professional ap-
plications, the VX-510 is housed in high-
strength die-cast aluminum alloy, sealed to
MIL-810 C, D & E intrinsically safe (I/S)
and weather-tight specifications.
User selectable features include a four-mode
display with channel name or number, up-
right or inverted for easy viewing when on
your belt; selective channel scanning, ad-
justable-pause priority scanning, and vari-
able transmitter power output.
Other user-selectable features include push-
button display illumination, voice encryp-
tion for privacy during communications
(with optional FVP-22 Unit installed), and
manual squelch override. The VX-510 is
easily programmed by your dealer using a
Yaesu Service Kit with an IBM PC-compat-
ible computer.
Please read this manual carefully to become
familiar with the features of the VX-510.

CONTROLS & CONNECTORS
Top panel
VOL Control
This control adjusts the volume of the receiver, and turns the radio off
when rotated fully counterclockwise to the click-stop
S/DW Button (Scan/Dual Watch)
Momentarily (< 1sec.) pressing this button turns the channel scanner on
and off. Pressing and holding (> 1 sec.) this button activates the Dual
Watch feature (explained later).
B Button
Pressing and holding this button more than 2 seconds (but less than 4
seconds) activates functions as programmed by your dealer and determined
by your system requirements (See “PRE-PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS”, page
13). Pressing and holding this button more than 4 seconds inverts the
LCD display to either frontward or backward facing readout (the back-
ward display is convenient for viewing when wearing the transceiver on
your belt).

VX-510 OPERATING MANUAL
A Button
Pressing and holding this button more than 2 seconds (but less than 4
seconds) also activates an assigned function (programmed by your dealer).
Pressing and holding this button more than 4 seconds causes the selected
channel to be assigned as the Priority Channel for use with Priority Scan-
ning and Dual Watch functions (explained later).
BUSY/TX Indicator
This lamp blinks green when a signal is being received (or the squelch is
opened by pressing the MON RES button) and red when transmitting. To
avoid interference, do not transmit if the lamp is glowing green. When the
battery almost depleted, this lamp blinks red, indicating that the battery
needs recharging or replacement very soon.
CH Rotary Selector
This rotary switch selects the operating channel. If a channel is selected
that is not available for operation, “-- -- -- --
” is displayed, accompa-
nied by a rapid warning beeper (2 beeps/sec.).
Antenna Jack
This threaded-type jack accepts the supplied flexible antenna. Any other
antenna types used here must be designed for the programmed operating
frequencies.
Liquid Crystal Display
In addition the channel number name, the display includes some operating
status symbols, indicated in the diagram below.

VX-510 OPERATING MANUAL
Side Panel Buttons
MON RES (Monitor/Reset)Button
Pressing and holding this button more than 2 seconds (but less than 4
seconds) disables the tone squelch, and permits monitoring of stations
transmitting on the selected channel while still keeping your receiver quiet
from noise (“MO ” will appear at the top right of the LCD). Press it again
to only hear calls within your network.
Pressing and holding this button more than 4 seconds toggles the tone and
noise squelch override, allowing all stations (and noise) on the channel to
be heard. This may be used to hear weak stations whose signals would not
normally open the squelch. Do this to pre-adjust the VOLume control
before receiving calls.
(With Selective Calling Option)
When the two-tone sequential decoder unit (F2D-5) is installed, and a
selective call has been received (“CALL” indicator on), pressing and
holding this button more than 2 seconds (but less than 4 seconds) will
reset the call function on the current channel and silence the receiver,
otherwise pressing and holding this button more than 4 seconds resets the
call function on ALL channels.

VX-510 OPERATING MANUAL
PTT (Push-To-Talk)button
Hold this button to transmit (the “BUSY/TX” indicator glows red).
LAMP/LOCK button
Press this button momentarily (<1 sec.) to illuminate the display for five
seconds. Pressing and holding (>1 sec.) this button locks top-panel push-
buttons (S/DW, B, A, and the optional DTMF keypad); this can be en-
abled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed.
Battery Release button
Slide this button in the direction of the arrow (upward) for battery re-
moval.
EAR Jack
This provides audio output for an earphone or the optional MH- 30A2B
External Speaker/Microphone here. The internal speaker is disabled when
a plug is inserted into this jack.
MIC Jack
Connect the optional MH- 30A2B Speaker/Microphone here, the internal
microphone is disabled when this jack is used.

OPERATION
Preliminaries
If the transceiver has not been used since leaving the factory, fully charge
the battery using CD-1 unit (with PA-14B or C) before using it.
Mount the battery on the transceiver as described and shown in the photo
below. Also, install the antenna on the jack on top of the transceiver by
screwing the connector into the jack until it is finger-tight.
Battery Removal & Replacement
Make sure that the VOL control is set into the off click-stop, and
remove the protective soft or hard case, if used.
Grasp the transceiver with your left hand, so your palm is over the
speaker and your thumb is on the Battery Release Button.
Move the button in the direction indicated by the arrowhead, while
using your right hand to slide the battery pack toward the side with
the button. The battery pack should slide smoothly out of its track.
To replace the Ni-Cd pack, repeat the second and third steps above,
simply sliding the battery case in the other direction after aligning
the shorter side of the battery pack with the track below the Battery
Release Button.
