Original Vertex Standard manufacturer brochure retained by a distributor; specifications apply to the listed band-split and accessory configuration.
The standard radio is separate from the optional intrinsically safe version described in the document. That option does not establish ATEX certification for this record.
Listed option boards and privacy features are model capabilities. Installed options, keys and network settings must be checked before claiming interoperability.
VHF hardware is offered in separate A/C band-splits; check the label before applying the family range.
