17、L7 BATTERY CHARGING It is necessary to charge the Battery Pack fully before its first use. 1. Install the Battery Pack into the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver is switched off. 2. Connect the cable plug from the PA-26 AC Adapter into the INPUT jack on the CD- 17 Charger, then insert the cab

18、le plug from the CD-17 Charger into the CHG termi- nal on the bottom of the transceiver. 3. Connect the AC cable into the AC jack on the PA-26 AC Adapter, then plug the PA- 26 AC Adapter into the AC line outlet. 4. The LED indicator on the CD-17 Charger will glow red (Charging) while the battery is

19、being charged. When charging is completed, the red LED indicator will change to green (Fully Charged). A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in about five hours. 5. Unplug the cable from the CHG terminal, then disconnect the PA-26 AC Adapter from the AC line outlet. ? Do not connect an

20、improper Charger into the CHG terminal. ? Do not forget to replace the protective cover. ? In rare instances, the CD-17 LED indicator may glow Green (apparently indicat- ing “Fully Charged”) immediately when you charge a fully-discharged pack. If this should happen, unplug the cable from the CHG ter

21、minal, wait a few seconds, then re-insert the cable plug into the CHG terminal. Normal charging should then begin. Operation BEFORE YOU BEGIN 8VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL Operation PRELIMINARY STEPS 1. Install a charged Battery Pack onto the transceiver, as described previously. 2. Connect the MH-50B7A

22、 Speaker/Microphone onto the transceiver; align the connector of the MH- 50B7A to the connector on the left side of the trans- ceiver body, then secure the connector using the screws supplied with the MH-50B7A Speaker/Mi- crophone. 3. If you use this transceiver with the optional YA-30 antenna kit,

23、set up the YA-30 antenna first, then connect the coaxial plug from the YA-30 to the ANT jack of the transceiver. ?: When using the YA-30 dipole antenna, the built-in antenna tuner is not used. 4. If you use this transceiver with the optional whip antenna (YHA-61 or FHA-27w/ GN-1210), connect the whi

24、p antenna onto the ANT jack of the transceiver, then con- nect a good earth ground onto the GND terminal of the transceiver using heavy braided cable. Note: The VX-1210 can be used either with a Dipole Antenna (like the YA-30), or the whip antenna (like the YHA-61), depending on the programming of t

25、he transceiver by your Vertex Standard dealer. For further details, contact your Vertex Standard dealer. VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL9 Operation WHIP ANTENNA SETUP? 1. Connect the whip antenna (YHA-61 or FHA-27w/GN-1210) and earth ground to the transceiver, as described previously. 2. Press and hold in

26、the SEL knob; while holding it in, turn the transceiver on by rotating the POWER switch clockwise. “TU ADJTU ADJTU ADJTU ADJTU ADJ” will appear in the display for three sec- onds, then the display will return to indication of the channel. Once the radio turns on, release the SEL knob. The built-in a

27、ntenna tuner is now engaged. 3. Now, press and hold in the SEL knob for 1/2 second to initiate antenna tuning. 4. Repeat step 3 on all operating channels. 5. Turn the transceiver off to save the new settings. You may set up the whip antenna using the TOGGLE switch, if your transceivers TOGGLE switch

28、 has been assigned to the Antenna Tuning feature. See page 11 for de- tails regarding Antenna Tuning. ?: Requires Optional ATU-1210 Built-in Antenna Tuner and YHA-61 Whip Antenna or FHA-27 Folding Whip Antenna w/GN-1210 Goose Neck. Important Note! ? If you use the VX-1210 with the optional whip ante

29、nna (YHA-61 or FHA-27 w/GN-1210), MUST BE connect a good earth ground onto the GND terminal of the VX-1210 using heavy braided cable to prevent electrical shock and proper performance. ? The optional whip antenna YHA-61 is for use only short distance communica- tions. We recommend that using with th

30、e optional whip antenna FHA-27 w/ GN-1210, optional dipole antenna YA-30 or other antenna which having the antenna gain, if you wish to communicate with the faraway station. 10VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL OPERATION QUICK START 1. Turn the transceiver on by rotating the POWER switch clockwise. 2. Rotate

31、the SEL knob to select the desired Memory Channel. 3. Rotate the VOL knob to set a comfortable vol- ume level. 4. To transmit, press and hold in the microphones PTT switch, and speak into the microphone in a normal voice level. To return to the receive mode, release the PTT switch. 5. If the frequen

32、cy of the station you are receiving should start to drift, rotate the CLAR knob to fol- low the drifting signal; this does not cause your radios transmitting frequency to move. Operation VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL11 Advanced Operation TOGGLE SWITCH FUNCTIONS The VX-1210s TOGGLE switch functions can be

33、 customized, via programming by the dealer. Some features may require the purchase and installation of optional internal ac- cessories. The possible TOGGLE switch programming features are illustrated at the bot- tom, and their functions are explained on the next page. For further details, contact yo

34、ur Vertex Standard dealer. For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to the toggle switch on your particular radio, and keep it handy.

The “WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT” indicator will appear on the display during tuning, and will disappear when a match has been achieved. If the tuning is successful, the “TUNE OKTUNE OKTUNE

39、OKTUNE OKTUNE OK” indication will appear on the display, and the radio will emit a “beep.” Encryption on/off Enables/disables the (optional) voice encryption unit. When the voice encryption unit is enabled, the clarifier is disabled. Remember that disabling the encryption will mean that your transmi

Advanced Operation VX-1210 OPERATING MANUAL13 LAMP on/off This feature operates differently, depending on the switch

41、 type assigned to this function. Toggle Switch Type (Switch “A”) Move the assigned TOGGLE switch into the “ON” position to illuminate the LCD lamp continuously. To disable the LCD lamp, return the assigned TOGGLE switch to the “OFF” position. Momentary Switch Type (Switch “B” or “C”) Press this swit

42、ch momentarily, (I) to illuminate the LCD lamp for three seconds, after which the lamp will automatically shut off, or (II) to illuminate the LCD lamp until you press this switch once more (no time limit). These functions are determined via program- ming by your Vertex Standard Dealer. LCD Display (

HAIL Function Turn on the assigned TOGGLE switch to activate the “HAIL” feature which emits a loud “Alarm” sound. Use this feature if you want a quick way

44、of alerting other group members as to a dangerous situation. VFO/MR Select Selects the frequency control technique between (I) the “VFO” or (II) the “Memory System.” ? Press the assigned TOGGLE switch momentarily to toggle frequency control be- tween the VFO and Memory Systems. ? Press and hold the

45、assigned TOGGLE switch in the “ON” position for 1/2 second to copy the memory channel data to the VFO. You may then rotate the SEL knob to tune the frequency manually. Generally, the SEL knob tunes the VFO frequency in 100 Hz steps when you are operat- ing in the VFO mode. If you wish to tune more q

46、uickly, using larger tuning steps, press the SEL knob downward momentarily, then rotate the SEL knob. This allows you to tune the VFO frequency in 5 kHz steps. When the transceiver is in this “fast” tuning step mode, the “F” character will appear on the left side of the display. Pressing the SEL kno

47、b downward again causes the transceiver to return to its regular tuning steps (100 Hz per step).
