Safety/Warning information

WARNING - DO NOT operate the VX-2100/-2200 radio when any person(s) (by-

standers) outside the vehicle are within the distances shown in the chart at the bot-

tom 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 congurations with a maximum operating

duty factor not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk congurations.

This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the

radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its

passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance shown

below.

Antenna Installation:

For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the following

distance away from rear-seat passengers.

For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.

Unsafe Radiation Distance

VHF Model UHF Model

25 W 3.3 Feet (1 m) 2.6 Feet (0.8 m)

45/50 W 4.6 Feet (1.4 m) 3.9 Feet (1.2 m)

Warning!

The 70.7 V RF voltage (@45/50 W/50 W) or 50.0 V RF voltage (@25 W/50 W) is

applied to the antenna terminal of the transceiver while transmitting.

Do not touch the TX RF section absolutely while transmitting.

Caution: The radio can become hot.

 Do not operate this radio continuously in transmission mode for longer than 7

minutes. Ensure enough standby/reception time for cool-down between trans-

mission periods. Be sure that TOT timer is correctly installed and properly

working. Avoid touching the rear bottom of the transceiver’s body while trans-

mission.

 Do not install this radio in a conned space such as a book case or similar unit.

 Provide a few centimeters of space on either side of the radio.

VX-2100/-2200 SerieS Operating Manual 1

intrOductiOn

The VX-2100/-2200 Series are full-featured FM transceivers designed for exible

mobile and base station business communications in the VHF or UHF Land Mo-

bile 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 VX-2100 allows up to 8-channel memories. The VX-2200 allows up to

128-channel memories which can each be programmed with an 8-character chan-

nel name. Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and ash mem-

ory on the CPU, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer

and the Vertex Standard FIF-12 Programming Interface and CE82 Software.

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

VX-2100/-2200 Series transceiver. After reading this manual, you may wish to

consult with your Network Administrator regarding precise details of the congu-

ration 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 Communi-

cations 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 op-

eration 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 rst time, conrm 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 in the VX-2200.

 In the VX-2200, if you want to select an operating channel from a different

group, press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is programmed

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

the operating channel. See page 8 for more information on the Programmable

Function keys.

Setting the Volume

 Turn the VOL/PWR knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counter-

clockwise to decrease it.

Transmitting

 To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.

 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 TX/BUSY indicator will glow red. The radio is

now transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of

the microphone 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 gener-

ate a short beep three times and the VX-2200 indicates “* 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-2100/-2200 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 sec-

onds 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

transmitting, 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, vari-

ous aspects of the transceiver’s keys may be locked out.

To activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [P1] key while turning the

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

adVanced OperatiOn

Programmable Function (PF) Buttons

The VX-2100/-2200 Series includes six Programmable Function (PF) Buttons.

The PF 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 explained on the pages to follow. For further details, contact your Vertex Stan-

dard dealer. For future reference, check the box next to the function that has been

assigned to each PF button on your particular radio, and keep it handy.
