VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)

VOX can be activated or deactivated by your dealer. VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature can only be used if you are using a supported headset.

When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If the microphone is too sensitive, it will begin transmitting when there is noise in the background. If it is not sensitive enough, it will not pick up your voice when you begin speaking. Be sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth transmission.

To set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps:

1Connect the headset to the transceiver.

ïThe VOX function does not activate when a headset is not connected to the accessory terminal of the transceiver.
