T o activate scanning:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key .
The scanner will search the channels, looking for active ones; it will pause each
time it finds a channel on which someone is speaking.
T o stop scanning:
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key .
Operation will revert to the channel to which the CH knob is set.

When the “T A” function is activated, the “ ” icon will be indicated on the LCD
(LCD version).
TX Save Disable
Press (or Press and hold) the assigned Programmable key to disable the Transmit
Battery Saver , if you are operating in a location where high power is almost always
needed.
The T ransmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing transmit power
when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station is being received. Un-
der some circumstances, though, your hand-held radio may not be heard well at the
other end of the communication path, and high power may be necessary at all times.
Encryption

keys. The LCD version
of the VX-350 provide
[

,
[

, and
[

function keys. These Program-
mable keys functions can be customized (set to other functions), via program-
ming by your VERTEX STANDARD dealer , to meet your communications/net-
work requirements. Some features may require the purchase and installation of op-
tional internal accessories. The possible Programmable key features are illus-
trated below , and their functions are explained in the next chapter . For further de-
tails, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer .
For future reference, check the box next to each function that has been assigned to
the Programmable key on your particular radio, and keep it handy .
ARTS
(
Auto Range Transpond System
)
This system is designed to inform you when you and another ARTS -equipped sta-
tion are within communication range.
During ARTS operation, your radio automatically transmits for about 1 second
every 55 seconds (or 25 seconds: Dealer Programmed) in an attempt to shake hands
with the other station.
If you are out of range for more than two minutes, your radio senses that no signal
has been received, a ringing beeper will sound, and “OUT RANGE ” will appear on
the LCD (on the LCD version). If you subsequently move back into range, as soon
as the other station transmits, your beeper will sound and “IN RANGE ” will appear
on the LCD (on the LCD version).
DTMF Paging System
This system allows paging and selective calling, using DTMF tone sequences.
When your radio is paged by a station bearing a tone sequence which matches
yours, your radio’ s squelch will open and the alert will sound. On the LCD version,
the three-digit code of the station which paged you will be displayed on your radio’ s
LCD.
