VX-510 OPERATING MANUAL
VX-510 Series
VHF Hand-Held Portable
Land Mobile Transceiver
The VX-510 is a frequency-synthesized, mi-
croprocessor-controlled FM hand-held por-
table transceiver providing up to five watts
of power output on up to 32 channels in the
VHF Land Mobile Bands. Designed specifi-
cally for commercial and professional ap-
plications, the VX-510 is housed in high-
strength die-cast aluminum alloy, sealed to
MIL-810 C, D & E intrinsically safe (I/S)
and weather-tight specifications.
User selectable features include a four-mode
display with channel name or number, up-
right or inverted for easy viewing when on
your belt; selective channel scanning, ad-
justable-pause priority scanning, and vari-
able transmitter power output.
Other user-selectable features include push-
button display illumination, voice encryp-
tion for privacy during communications
(with optional FVP-22 Unit installed), and
manual squelch override. The VX-510 is
easily programmed by your dealer using a
Yaesu Service Kit with an IBM PC-compat-
ible computer.
Please read this manual carefully to become
familiar with the features of the VX-510.
