VOX Operation

1Connect the headset to the transceiver.

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

2Press and hold the key programmed as VOX for 2 seconds.

•On K2/K3/K5/K6/K7 model transceivers, the icon appears on the display.

3To transmit, simply speak into the microphone.

•The transceiver recognizes sound levels depending on the VOX Gain level. 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.

4When you finish speaking, the transceiver automatically returns to receive mode.

•Depending on the pre-programmed delay time, it may take a moment before returning to receive mode. The delay time is present to ensure that the end of your conversation is not cut off when you finish speaking.

5To turn the VOX function OFF, press and hold the VOX key again, for 2 seconds.

Note:

◆If a speaker/ microphone is connected to the transceiver while the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain Level is configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may cause the transceiver to start transmission.

◆When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional KHS-11BL, KHS-14, KHS-15-BH, or KHS-15-OH accessory.
