The Voice Activated Transmission (VOX) function allows your voice to activate signal transmission automatically when the FR1438-2 is used with a hands free microphone/ headset (FRS-BHST). It also allows hands free use when a microphone/headset is not being used without having to use the PTT Button (4). When in the VOX mode a short beep will sound after the termination of any VOX generated transmission. To access the VOX Selection menu:

1.Press the Function Button (12) until the VOX icon blinks and UO appears in the LCD Panel (8).

2.Press the Up Button (10) or the Down Button (11) to select from high, low or off. The high or low setting determines VOX response sensitivity.

3.Press the Enter Button (13) to confirm your selection.
