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 2 represents high sensitivity, and should be used in a relatively quiet surrounding.

A VOX sensitivity of 1 represents low sensitivity and should be used in a noisy environment.

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 numeral 1 or 2.

-Press the Up or Down button to select the 1 or 2 VOX level sensitivity.

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

-The icon only appears when the 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); appears flashing on the display. If the dual watch mode is off, the oF icon will also appear flashing.
