Introduction The EVX-531 is full-featured Hand-Held Digital/Analog Transceiver designed for business communications in the VHF/UHF Land Mobile bands. This transceiver is 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 EVX-531 allows to 32-channel capacity and 2 groups.
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 Standards and Guidelines: FCC 96-326, Guidelines for Evaluating the Environmental Effects of Radio-Frequency Radiation.
Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements 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. The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty cycle not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-toTalk configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle).
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 (1.5 cm) from the top edge of battery compartment, then slide the battery pack upward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove 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 (1.5 cm).
Before You Begin proper positioning of the battery pack. If charging with the transceiver attached, turn the transceiver off. The antenna jack should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front. If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the LED indicator will glow red. A fully-discharged battery pack will charge completely in 1.5 - 3.0 hours (depending on the battery pack being charged). When charging is completed, the LED indicator will change to green.
Before You Begin Belt Clip Installation and Removal To install the Belt Clip: align the Belt Clip to the groove of the Battery pack, then press the Belt Clip downward until it locks in place with a “Click.” To remove the Belt Clip: use a flat head screw driver to press the Belt Clip Tab away from the battery pack to unlock the Belt Clip, then slide the Belt Clip upward to remove it. MIC/SP CAP Installation Install the MIC/SP cap with the supplied screws.

Preliminary Steps Operation Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. Never attempt to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. If you have a Speaker/Mi crophone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the EVX-531.
Operation EVX-531 Operating Manual Press the (Orange) TOP SEL key or SIDE-2 button to activate one of the pre programmed functions which may have been enabled at the time of programming by the dealer. See the next section for details regarding the available features.
Operation the main transceiver’s body, and speak into the microphone on a normal voice level. Note 1): Save the original plastic cap and its mounting screws. They should be reinstalled when not using the Speaker/Microphone. 2) When you press the PTT switch on the Speaker/Microphone, it disables the internal microphone, and vice versa. If the BCLO (Busy Channel Lockout) feature has been programmed on an analog channel, the radio will not transmit when a carrier is present.
Advanced Operation Programmable Key Functions The EVX-531 provides the programmable TOP SEL, SIDE-1, and SIDE-2 function keys. These Programmable Function keys can be customized, via programming by your Vertex Standard dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. The possible Programmable key programming features are illustrated on the next page, and their functions are explained beginning after page 13. For further details, contact your Vertex Standard dealer.

Advanced Operation Description of Operating Functions Monitor Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to cancel any signaling features; the LED indicator will glow with a pre-defined color (Factory default: green). Monitor -Momentarily- Cancel any signaling features while pressing the assigned programmable key. SQL OFF Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to open the SQL to hear background noise (unmute the audio).
VOX Advanced Operation Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to turn the VOX function “On” or “Off”. When the VOX function is activated, the LED indicator will glow with a pre-defined color. You may disable the VOX function temporarily by pressing the PTT switch. VOX Anti-Trip Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to toggle the VOX Anti-Trip feature “On” and “Off”.
PRI-2 Set Advanced Operation Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to toggle the current channel to the priority channel 2 “enable” and “disable”. PRI-2 Disable Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to disable the priority channel 2 of the group temporarily. Scan The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple signals programmed into the transceiver.
Dual Watch Advanced Operation The Dual Watch feature is similar to the SCAN feature, except that only two channels are monitored: The current operating channel; and The Priority-2 channel. To activate Dual Watch: Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key. The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking. To stop Dual Watch: Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key.
TA Scan Advanced Operation Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to toggle the TA (Talk Around) scan feature “On” and “Off”. While TA scan is proceeding, the transceiver will search both the transmit and receive frequencies. When a signal is encountered on the receive frequency, the EVX-531 will pause until the signal disappears.
RESET Advanced Operation Press (or press and hold) the assigned programmable key to reset the RFC (Ready for Communication) condition. Call 1 to Call 3 Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to send a pre-defined 2-tone Sequential Tone Group (on an analog channel) or a pre-defined Digital Contact List (on a digital channel). Speed Dial Press (or press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to prepare the Speed Dial function.
LOCK In order to prevent accidental channel change or inadvertent transmission, various aspects of the CH Selector knob, Programmable keys, and PTT switch may be locked. The precise lockout configuration is programmed by your Dealer. To locked out the key locking, turn the radio off. Now, press and hold the PTT and SIDE-2 key while turning the radio on again.
