Audiovox GMRS-1500, 1500XTM manual FM Radio Mode, VOX Function, VOX Sensitivity Selection

VOX FUNCTION

This feature enables you to have hands-free conversation. When using the internal microphone/speaker or an external microphone/headset (purchased separately), your voice or the signal is detected and the radio transmits and receives automatically. When in the VOX mode, a short beep will sound after the termination of any VOX generated transmission.

VOX SENSITIVITY SELECTION

This feature allows the user to select the voice/signal level at which the unit will trans- mit. The high sensitivity setting ( HI ) should be used in low background noise environ- ments or when whispering. The low sensitivity setting ( LO ) should be used in high background noise environments. The normal (MID) setting can be used in most all typical applications. To access the VOX Selection menu:

1.From the GMRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the right menu button four times; VOX will appear on the LCD display together with the

flashing VOX icon ( ) and a flashing OFF, LO, MID or HI indication.

2.Press the Up Button (6) or the Down Button (11) to choose the VOX sensitivity setting desired (LO, MID or HI).

3.Press the Monitor (M) button (14) to confirm your selection.

VOX DELAY TIME SELECTION

This feature allows the response time characteristics of the VOX function to be pre- cisely adjusted to suit individual needs. The VOX Recovery Time Selection menu is accessible from the SET UP menu and provides choices of OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds. (Refer to the SET UP mode for VOX Recovery Time Selection.)

(F) button once; FM RADIO appears on the display accompanied by a short melody.
