VOX Sensitivity Level Selection

This selection enables you to set the sensitivity level to compensate for ambient noise in your immediate area. A VOX sensitivity of 3 is the most sensitive, and should be used in a relatively quiet surrounding. A VOX sensitivity of 1 is the least sensitive and should be used in a noisy sur- rounding.

To set the VOX sensitivity level:

-Press the MODE button 4 times (3 times for FRS) until the VO icon appears on the display accompanied by the flashing VOX icon and the numeral 1, 2 or 3.

-Press the Up or Down button to select the 1-3VOX level sensitivity.

-Press the PTT button momentarily to confirm the VOX selection.

-The VOX icon will disappear from the display unless VOX mode is enabled.

Dual Watch Mode

This feature allows you to monitor two channels at the same time. While in dual watch mode, the unit will continuously monitor both the primary and dual watch channel. Received signals will be played for 5 seconds, then the unit will resume scanning the two channels. Pressing the PTT button during a received transmission will set the unit to transmit on the same channel. Pressing the PTT button when no signal is received will set the unit to transmit on the primary channel.

To set the Dual Watch Mode:

-From GMRS/FRS standby mode, press the MODE button 5 times (4 times for FRS); DW appears flashing on the display. If the dual watch mode is off, the oF icon will also appear flashing.

-To enable the dual watch mode, press the Up or Down button; the dual watch channel number will flash and start to increase or decrease as the Up or Down button is pressed.

-To select a subcode for the dual watch channel, press the MODE button while the selected dual watch channel is flashing. Then use the

Up and Down buttons to select the desired CTCSS subcode.
