UTILITIES

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMIT (VOX)

When the VOX accessory is connected, your radio may be used with hands-free operation. The VOX feature intelligently senses background noise, so that it adapts automatically to the noise level in the environment in which you are working.

To start the VOX feature:

1.Ensure that the VOX accessory is connected to the rear accessory connec- tor of the radio.

2.Switch the radio to a VOX channel.

You can disable the VOX feature by pressing the PTT button on the hand held microphone. This allows you to use the hand held microphone as normal.

To re-enable the VOX feature:

1.Change channel away from and back to the VOX channel.

STUN/UNSTUN

For added security and to avoid abuse of the radio system in which you operate, a feature known as Stun/Unstun is included in your radio.

This feature can only be activated by your system manager or administrator.

For example, if your radio is stolen and is being used illegally, your system administrator can send a signal which will stun the radio making it incapable of being used. This feature is also useful if the system is being abused by a user who is not complying with the correct communications protocol.

The radio can only be unstunned, i.e. returned to operational use, by an unstun signal sent from the system administrator or returning the radio for reprogramming.
