Improved Portability
A radio that won't get in the way, the VX-454 is more compact and
lightweight than other radios with the same capabilities measuring only
4.29" H x 2.3" W x 1.34" D.
More Battery Power
Designed to use powerful Li-Ion battery technology for longer battery
life. Included with your VX-454 as standard equipment is an 1150 mAh
battery providing 9 hour of operation with the battery saver enabled.
You can upgrade your run time by adding the Extreme life 16 hour battery
FNB-V113LI (2400 mAh) as an accessory to your order.
More Audio Power
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.
GET IT WET ! - Solid Build for Extreme Environments -
The VX-454 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.
FCC Narrowband Compliant - Wide Band Coverage For Added Value
The VX 450 Series are designed to cover the full band in the VHF
range, which provides expanded options in frequencies to use. The
VX-454 meets the FCC Part 90 requirement for using 12.5 kHz channels by
January 1, 2013.
More Scanning Options
While many radios provide 1 or 2 scanning options, the VX-454 radio
gives you 4 additional scanning options for greater convenience and
flexibility for the way you need your radios to perform. Options
include: Priority, Dual Watch, Follow Me and Talk Around scan.
Monitor Worker Safety
As with all VX-Series 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.
Exclusive Auto-Range Transponding System - ARTSTM
Only VX-Series radios are designed to inform you when you and another ARTSTM
- equipped station are within communication range. If out of range for
more than 2 minutes, your radio senses no signal has been received and
beeps to alert you. The base station can then alert the field unit to
move back in range. A great solution to keep your workers coordinated.
