VX-450 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NORTH AMERICAN USERS REGARDING 406 MHZGUARD BAND

The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration 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 frequency range 406.0 - 406.1

MHz if the apparatus is to be used in or near North America.

Warning - Frequency band 406 - 406.1 MHz is reserved for use ONLY as a distress beacon by the

US Coast Guard and NOAA. Under no circumstance should this frequency band be part of the

preprogrammed operating frequencies of this radio.

INTRODUCTION

The VX-450 Series are full-featured hand-held FM transceivers designed for business communications in the

VHF or UHF Land Mobile bands. These transceivers 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-451 allows to 32-channel capacity and 2 groups. The VX-454/-459 allows to 512-channel capacity

and 32 groups which can each be programmed with an 8-character Alpha-Numeric Tag.

Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the CPU, and is easily program-

mable by Vertex Standard dealers using a personal computer and the Vertex Standard Programming Cable and

CE115 Software.

The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided in the VX-450 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.

VX-450 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL

WARNING! FCC RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS

This Radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF exposure

limits for Occupational Use/Controlled exposure environment. In addition, it complies with the following Stan-

dards and Guidelines:

FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.

FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 (2001) Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-

quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

ANSI/IEEE C95.3-1992, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Elec-

tromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave.

WARNING:

This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and

classified as Occupational Use Only, meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by

individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is not intended for

use by the General Population in an uncontrolled environment.

CAUTION:

To ensure that your expose to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupa-

tional use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled exposure environ-

ment. This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio opera-

tor must have the knowledge to control his or her RF exposure conditions.

When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm) away from

your mouth and keep the antenna at least 2 inches (5 cm) away from your head and body.

VX-450 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL

The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-

Talk configurations.

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting more

than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the

radio to transmit by pressing the P-T-T button.

SAR compliance for body-worn use was only demonstrated for the specific belt-clip (CLIP-20). Other

body-worn accessories or configurations may NOT comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements

and should be avoided.

DO NOT transmit when the radio is used in Body Worn configuration with the following accessory:

belt-clip.

It must be used ONLY for (1) there is 4 cm distance from the body during transmitting, (2) monitoring

purposes, using the speaker only and (3) for carrying purposes.

Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.

The information listed above provides the user with the information needed to make him or her aware

of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates with the FCC RF exposure limits of

this radio.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility

During transmissions, this radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other

devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so.

Do not operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospi-

tals, health care facilities, aircraft, and blasting sites.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Battery Pack Installation and Removal

To install the battery pack, align the battery pack

to the radio with an offset about 1/2 inch from the

top edge of battery compartment, then slide the

battery pack upward until it locks in place with a

“Click.”

Low Battery Indication

As the battery discharges during use, the voltage

gradually becomes lower. When the battery voltage

becomes to low, substitute a freshly charged battery

and recharge the depleted pack. The LED indicator

on the top of the radio will blink red when the bat-

tery voltage is low.

Caution

Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with

an incorrect battery. Replace only with the same

or equivalent type.

Battery Charging

Referring to Figure 1, adjust

the direction of the Battery

Holder of the CD-49 Desktop

Charger in accordance with

the battery pack being

charged; Push in both sides of

the Battery Holder while pull-

ing up on the Battery Holder

to remove it from the charger

base, select the correct direc-

tion of the Battery Holder for

the battery being charged, then

To remove the battery, turn the radio off and re-

move any protective cases. Slide the Battery Pack

Latch on the bottom of the radio toward the front

panel while sliding the battery down about 1/2

inch. Then lift the battery out from the radio.

Do not attempt to open any of the recharge-

able Lithium-Ion packs, as they could ex-

plode if accidentally short-circuited.
