Voice Activated Control (VOX)

Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.

VOX Operation

1Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}.

2To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.

You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting.

3To stop transmitting, stop speaking.

Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop speaking. You can select the delay time as described on page 21.

4To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to “  ” (VOX function off).

VOX Gain Level

With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient noise.

1With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the MENU key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).

2Press the or key to select “  ”.
