More Battery Power

Designed to use powerful Li-Ion battery technology for longer battery life.  Included with your VX-459 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-459 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 UHF 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-459 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 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.

Exclusive Auto-Range Transponding System - ARTSTM

Only Vertex Standard 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.

 3-Year Factory Warranty - The Vertex Standard Difference

Our number one goal is achieving superior customer satisfaction by delivering products and services that exceed your expectations.  Vertex Standard radios are built to last and are backed by an industry-leading 3 year warranty - another great reason to choose Vertex Standard.
