SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION
WARNING - DO NOT operate the VX-7200 radio when any person(s) (by-
standers) outside the vehicle are within the distances shown in the chart at the
bottom of this section.
Safety Training information:
Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBd.
The radio must be used in vehicle-mount configurations with a maximum op-
erating duty factor not exceeding 50%, in typical Push-to-Talk configurations.
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where
the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure condi-
tions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separa-
tion distance shown below.
Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF ex-
posure limits.
Antenna Installation:
For rear deck trunk installation, the antenna must be located at least the fol-
lowing distance away from rear-seat passengers in order to comply with the
FCC RF exposure requirements.
For roof top installations, the antenna must be placed in the center of the roof.

VX-7200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The VX-7200 Series are full-featured APCO P25/FM transceiver designed for flex-
ible mobile and base station business communications in the VHF or UHF Land
Mobile bands. These transceiver 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 501-channel memories can each be programmed with a 12-character channel
name.
Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM and flash memory on the
CPU, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer and the VER-
TEX STANDARD VPL-1 (or FIF-12) Programming Cable and CE76 Software.
The pages which follow will detail the many advanced features provided on the VX-
7200 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
For North American Users Regarding 406 MHz Guard Band
The U.S. Coast Guard and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Ad-
ministration have requested the cooperation of the U.S. Federal Communica-
tions 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.

BASIC OPERATION OF THE TRANSCEIVER
Important! - Before turning on the radio the first time, confirm that the power con-
nections have been made correctly and that a proper antenna is connected to the
antenna jack.
Switching Power ON/OFF
Press and hold in the (POWER)button for 2 seconds to turn the radio on.
The display will become illuminated.
Press the []/[]button to choose the desired operating channel. A channel
name will appear on the display. If you want to select an operating channel from
a different group, press the PF (Programmable Function) button which is pro-
grammed to the Group Up/Down feature to select the group you want before
selecting the operating channel. See page 7 for more information on the Pro-
grammable Function keys.
Setting the Volume
Turn the VOL knob clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to
decrease it.
Transmitting
To transmit, monitor the channel and make sure it is clear.
THIS IS AN FCC REQUIRMENT!
Press the PF button which is programmed to the Monitor feature to listen for
channel activity.
When receiving a call, transmit only after the incoming call ends. The radio
cannot receive a call and transmit simultaneously.
Press the PTT switch.
If the channel is clear, the BUSY/TX indicator will glow red. The radio is now
transmitting. While holding in the PTT switch, speak across the face of the micro-
phone in a clear and normal voice. For best transmission, hold the microphone
about 1-1/2 to 2 inches away from your mouth. Release the PTT switch to receive.
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature has been programmed on a channel, the
radio will not transmit when a carrier is present. Instead, the radio will generate
a short beep three times and indicate “*ERROR *” on the display. Release the
PTT switch and wait for the channel to be clear of activity.
If CTCSS or Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) Lockout 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 CTCSS tone or DCS code.

VX-7200 SERIES OPERATING MANUAL
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. Another beep will sound just before the deadline; the red “TX”
indicator will disappear and transmission will cease soon thereafter. To resume trans-
mitting, you must release the PTT switch and wait for the “penalty timer” to expire
(if you press the PTT switch before this timer expires, the timer restarts, and you
will have to wait another “penalty” period)
Key Lock
In order to prevent accidental frequency change or inadvertent transmission, various
aspects of the VX-7200’s keys, and PTT switch, may be locked out. The precise
lockout configuration may be configured using the “User Set” (Menu) mode. See
page 16 for detail.
To activate the Locking feature, press and hold in the [P4]key while turning the
radio on. To disable the Locking feature, repeat this power-on procedure.

Description of Operating Functions
MONITOR (MONI)
Press the assigned programmable key to cancel CTCSS- and DCS-controlled squelch;
the BUSY/TX indicator will glow green. Press and hold in this button for 1.5 sec-
onds to hear background noise (unmute the audio); the BUSY/TX indicator will
blink green.
SQUELCH (SQL)
You can manually adjust the squelch level using this function:
Press the assigned programmable key. A tone will sound, and the current squelch
will level appears on the display.
Press the []/[]button to select the desired squelch level.
Press this key again. A tone will sound, and the display will revert to the normal
channel indication.
DIMMER
Press the assigned programmable key to select the brightness level of the display
and key backlight. Available selections are four levels.
CHANNEL UP/DOWN
Press the assigned programmable key (generally the []/[]button) to select a
different channel within the current group.
GROUP UP/DOWN
Press the assigned programmable key to select a different group of channels. Once
the desired Group is reached, press the Channel Up/Down key (generally the []/
[]button) to select the desired channel within the selected Group.
You may wish to have the Scanner pass through more than one Group during the
scanning process (normally, scanning is performed within the current group only).
To include the current Group in the scanning loop, press and hold in the assigned
programmable key for one second. To remove a Group from Group Scan, press and
hold in the assigned programmable key again for one second.
Multi-Group Scanning is only possible if you are using the “User Scan” list. To edit
the User Scan list, press and hold the assigned programmable key for one second to
delete the current Memory Group from the Scanning. Alternatively, press and hold
the assigned programmable key for one second to delete the Current Memory chan-
