VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. VOX can
only be used if you are using a supported headset. This
function can be turned off for specific channels.
To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the
following steps:
1 Connect the headset to the transceiver .
The VOX function does not activate when a headset is not
connected to the accessory terminal of the transceiver.
2 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1
key while turning the transceiver power ON.
3 Continue to hold the Side 1 key until a beep sounds.
The LED indicator lights turn orange.
When the Side 1 key is released, the transceiver will
announces the VOX Gain level (the default level is OFF, so, a
double beep sounds).
4 Press the Side 1 key to select the VOX Gain level of the radio
(from 1~10 or Off).
Press the Side 2 key to turn VOX ON/OFF for the current
channel (you can change this setting for each channel by
selecting a channel with the Channel selector). When turned
ON, a beep sounds. When turned OFF, a double beep sounds.
5 Press the PTT switch to save the setting.
A beep will sound.
The transceiver announces the new VOX Gain level.
6 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to
activate VOX.
Note:
The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if
no action is performed for 5 seconds.
VOX Gain level 1 is the least sensitive and VOX Gain level 10 is
the most sensitive.
If a headset is connected to the transceiver while the VOX
function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is configured
to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may
cause the transceiver to start transmission.
