FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Introduction The VX-264 is full-featured Hand-Held 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, and allows up to 128-channel capacity within a maximum 8 groups. Each channel can be programmed with an 8-character Alpha-Numeric Tag.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 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.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Warning! FCC RF Exposure Requirements 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. To keep the Body Worn configuration with the Vertex Standard CLIP-20 belt-clip, reduce the maximum operating duty cycle still more. The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of the radio is illuminated.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 English Warning! IC RSS General Requirement r Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 French Warning! IC RSS General Requirement r Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 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.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Before You Begin tery 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.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 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.

FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Preliminary Steps Operation Install a charged battery pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. Screw the supplied antenna onto the Antenna jack. It is not recommended to operate this transceiver without an antenna connected. If you have a Speaker/Microphone, we recommend that it not be connected until you are familiar with the basic operation of the VX-264. Refer to next page for more information about Speaker/Microphone usage.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Operation Rotate the VOL/PWR knob to set the volume level. If no signal is present on the analog channel, press (or press and hold) the Programmable key (assigned to the “SQL OFF” function: Normally SIDE-1 button); background noise will now be heard, and you may use this to set the VOL/PWR knob for the desired audio level. Press (or press and hold) the Programmable key again to quiet the noise and resume normal (quiet) monitoring.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Operation on the Speaker/Microphone, just as you would on 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.
FCC ID: AXI11274620 IC: 10239A-11274620 Advanced Operation Programmable Key Functions The VX-264 provides six programmable function (PF) keys: SIDE-1, SIDE-2, [A], [B], [C], and [D] keys. These PF keys can be customized, via programming by your Vertex Standard dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. The possible PF key programming features are illustrated on the next page, and their functions are explained beginning after page 18.
