VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature must first be activated by your dealer,
and 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 activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps:
1. Connect the headset to the transceiver (page 5 ).
● The VOX function does not activate when a headset is not connected to the accessory terminal
of the transceiver.
2. With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power
ON.
3. Continue to hold the Side 1 key until a beep sounds.
● The LED indicator lights orange.
● When the Side 1 key is released, the transceiver announces the VOX Gain level.
