Durable On-the-Job Responsiveness
The industrial grade VX-450 Series maximizes worker uptime with expanded safety applications and convenient built-in features designed for heavy duty use.


 Monitor Worker Safety
 As with all Vertex Standard radios, the VX-450 series includes built-in Emergency and Lone Worker alerts. Emergency notification is user-initiated with a press of a button for the radio to switch to a designated channel and send an alert for help. Lone Worker mode is a built-in timer that requires the user to reset at a predetermined interval. If not reset, the radio automatically switches to Emergency mode to alert help.

When constant contact is required at all times, Vertex Standard’s exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System (ARTS™) is included to inform the user that other ARTS™- equipped radios are within communication range.

No two job sites are alike and the optional Man Down function (with DVS-9 unit) is programmable to monitor a variety of worker timed safety scenarios vertically and horizontally as well as worker degree of motion. Adjusting the settings of the 3-axis sensor adapts the radio to each distinct work environment to monitor movement.


 Solid Build for Extreonmentme Envirs
 The VX-450 Series withstands job site abuse meeting military standards for ruggedness and meets the IP57 ingress protection standard where water does not harm the radio when submersed to a depth of 3 feet for up to 30 minutes.


Audio and Voice Responsiveness
 - Features 700 mW loud audio output ideal for noisy work environments.
 - Includes Channel Announcement which loudly speaks the channel description to simplify changing channels when focused on other tasks simultaneously.
 - Features voice activation (VOX) when used with MH-81A4B headset that enables users to transmit voice without pressing the Push To Talk button for hands-free operation.
 - Record and store up to 120 seconds of voice messages using the optional DVS-8 Voice Storage unit.


Built-in Selective Signaling Modes for Greater Flexibility
 Includes MDC-1200® encode/decode along with both 2-tone and 5-tone encode/decode providing selective radio calling and efficiency in supporting a variety of discreet communications needs.


Large Group Communications Made Easy to Manage
 Both the VX-459 and VX-454 radios have a massive 512-channel capacity and 32 groups to easily manage a variety of calls at the most complex job site or plant operation. The VX-459 also includes Direct Channel Entry to punch in the channel desired from the keypad for fast navigation.


FCC Narrowband Compliant
 Meets the FCC Part 90 requirement for using 12.5 kHz channels by January 1, 2013.

Optimized Mobile Communications
 The VX-4500/4600 mobile radios are packed with enhanced features and signaling performance for increased communications flexibility and worker safety.


Expanded Signaling and Security
 Both radios provide a full range of signaling capabilities including 2-tone, 5-tone and MDC 1200® encode/decode for selective calling.
 Private communication is supported by built-in voice inversion encryption. And, if a radio is ever lost or stolen, 5-tone remote stun/kill/revive can be activated to ensure messages are only heard by those intended.


Enhanced Audio Performance
 Features Channel Announcement which loudly speaks the current channel description to simplify changing channels when focused on other tasks simultaneously.
 Includes voice activation (VOX) that enables users to transmit voice without pressing the Push to Talk button on the microphone. Enables hands-free operation for convenience.
 In noisy environments, activate the Clear Voice function to enhance audio transmit to ensure your message is heard. And, to ensure a radio is not accidentally turned down too low, a minimum volume limit can be programmed by your Dealer.
 Whisper capability is also included to augment audio transmit when talking quietly is necessary for discreet communications.
 Record and store up to 120 seconds for keeping an audible record of important messages using the optional DVS-8 Voice Storage unit.


When Safety Counts
 As with all Vertex Standard mobile radios, the VX-4500/4600 Series includes Emergency alert for enhanced driver safety.
 Operators can activate the Lone Worker function when leaving equipment or a vehicle temporarily. If a problem arises while away, the radio switches to Emergency mode to alert help.
 When constant contact is required at all times, Vertex Standard’s exclusive Auto-Range Transpond System (ARTS™) is also included to inform the user that another ARTS™-equipped radios are within communication range.


Large Group Communications Made Easy to Manage
 The VX-4600 has 512-channel capacity and 32 groups to easily manage a variety of calls at the most complex job site. For smaller operations, the VX-4500 features 8 channels.


FCC Narrowband Compliant
 Meets the FCC Part 90 requirement for using 12.5 kHz channels by January 1, 2013.
