FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Introduction The VX-261 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 16-channel capacity.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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.

FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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-261. Refer to next page for more information about Speaker/Microphone usage.

Operation To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear. Press and hold the PTT switch. Speak into the microphone area of the front panel grille in a normal voice level. To return to the Receive mode, release the PTT switch.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Operation If the BTLO (Busy Tone Lockout) feature 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 tone (CTCSS tone or DCS code). 12 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 seconds before time-out.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Advanced Operation Programmable Key Functions The VX-261 provides two programmable function (PF) keys: SIDE-1 and SIDE-2 keys. Both 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 at the right, and their functions are explained beginning after next page. For further details, contact your Vertex Standard dealer.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Advanced Operation Description of Operating Functions Monitor Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF 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 PF key. Low Power Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to set the radio’s transmitter to “Low Power” mode, thus extending battery life.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Emergency Advanced Operation The VX-261 includes an “Emergency” feature in either analog or digital modes, which may be useful for alerting another party monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s channel. Please contact your Vertex Standard dealer for further details. Press and hold the assigned PF key for a pre-programmed period to initiate an emergency call on the pre-defined channel.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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 channel. To activate Dual Watch: Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to activate the Dual Watch feature. The scanner will search the two channels; it will pause each time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 TA (Talk Around) Scan Advanced Operation Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to toggle the TA 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 transceiver will pause until the signal disappears.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 Duty Advanced Operation Press, (or press and hold), the assigned PF key to toggle the Duty function of the 2-Tone or 5-Tone “On” and “Off”. When the Duty function is set to “On”, the user will always hear (depending on the sub-audio signaling) all traffic on the paging channel. The radio will sound the paging alert when it receives the programmed 2-Tone or 5-Tone.
FCC ID: AXI11283020 IC: 10239A-11283020 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. To cancel locking, repeat this process.
