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.
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when the
transceiver transmits. Because of this, you must take care
that the ambient noise around you is not so loud that it causes
the transceiver to transmit. Due to the automatic switching
between transmission and reception, we recommend you set
the VOX gain such that it will not activate transmission when
in an area with excessive ambient noise.
VOX GAIN
To enjoy the VOX function, take the time to properly adjust the
VOX Gain. This level controls the VOX circuit to detect the
presence or absence of your voice.
