3. Transmitting and receiving:
The headset is in receiving mode, when turned
ON
by the
Volume/ On/Off switch
.
To transmit voice, make sure that the microphone
is very close to your mouth
(about ½ “) and
the
white dot
on the microphone is against your mouth.
Push the PTT button or adjust the VOX sensitivity and start talking.
After releasing the PTT or when you stop talking in VOX mode, you and all other recipients will
hear a beep tone- to confirm end of transmission.
4. Adjustment of the VOX sensitivity:
A.
Maximum sensitivity
(first VOX level - opposite to the PTT position) is appropriate for
communication in low noise levels - up to 92dB(A).
B.
Medium sensitivity
starts the VOX with this position. Suitable for most noisy area up to
105dB(A).
C.
Minimum sensitivity
(lowest sensitivity- position close to the PTT position) is
appropriate for transmissions in high noise levels (up to 130dB and requires an increased
voice signal in order to activate the transmitter.
Note: When transmitting, you should hear your own voice through the speakers.
5. Suggestions for proper operation:
A. It is recommended to use the PTT to transmit if you have a free hand..
B. When using VOX mode, speak continuously and avoid silent periods between words.
C. When you receive a transmission, the PAWN blocks VOX transmission, PTT is always
available.
6. Should the transmitter not work properly in VOX mode check the following:
A. Is the VOX sensitivity position is right for the noise surrounding you?
B. Is the microphone positioned close enough to your mouth?
C. Are you speaking loudly enough?
D. Is the other user transmitting, or is the VOX sensitivity set so high that the transmitter
is constantly activated?
7. CTCSS tone (PL Decoder/Encoder) considerations:
A. The default internal dip switch position (see page 6) is OFF.
B. If you experience interference on the selected channel, it is recommended to change the
channel. If you must stay on the first channel, you move the CTCSS dip switch to ON.
C. Please note:
D. If you are using the VOX system with PL, expect a longer delay between beginning of
speech and transmission than by using PTT. The recessives will have a delay of 1-2
seconds. There for you must extend the first word like - DDDDDDave, listen…..
E. Every body must change to CTCSS ON in order for this feature to work because it affects
all channels.
