Call Ring tone

Using the VOX
function

With the VOX function, your handset will automatically
start to transmit when it detects your voice (or other
noise), without the

PTT

button pressed. It will then

transmit for at least 2 seconds, even if you stop talking
before then.

There are three levels of VOX sensitivity. Level 1 is the
most sensitive, meaning that the handset will pick up
softer noises; at Level 3, it will pick up only quite loud
noises.

As long as the VOX function is switched on, the
‘Vox’ symbol stays on the display.

The VOX function will be temporarily disabled
while you’re transmitting, receiving, scanning,
monitoring or programming the handset.

Monitoring
the current
channel

The MR700 has an

automatic squelch circuit

, which

turns the speaker off when no-one’s transmitting a
message to you. But if a transmission is weak, this may
prevent your handset picking up the signal.

So you can temporarily de-activate (turn off) the
squelch and monitor all sounds on the channel —

Press and hold the

MON

button

Your handset will pick up any signals on the
current channel, including any background
noise.

To stop monitoring, simply release the

MON

button

(You can’t use monitoring while you’re scanning
channels.)
