6. Supplementary Features
6.1 VOX
When the voice detected by the microphone reaches the value to trigger the transmission, the radio automatically
transmits the voice without the
PTT
key pressed. The VOX Gain feature preprogrammed by your dealer is used to
control the sensitivity of microphone transmission.
Press the preprogrammed
VOX
key to enable this feature.
6.2 Power Level
The Power Level feature allows you to set the TX power level to high or low. High power enables communication
with radios far away from you but consumes more battery power. Low power enables communication with radios
close to you and saves battery power.
Press the preprogrammed
Adjust Power Level
key to adjust the power level.
6.3 Scan
The Scan feature allows you to listen to activities on other channels, keeping track of your team members.
Press the preprogrammed
Scan
key to enable this feature.
With this feature enabled, the radio scans according to the scan list preset for the current channel. The LED
indicator flashes orange slowly. When detecting activities on a channel, the radio stays on the channel and the
LED indicator glows green.
6.4 Talk Around
The Talk Around feature allows you to continue communication in direct mode when the repeater malfunctions or
your radio is out of the coverage of the repeater.
With this feature preprogrammed by your dealer, press the preprogrammed
Talk Around
key to switch between
direct mode and repeater mode.
6.5 Squelch Level
The squelch level refers to the squelch threshold required for the speaker of the radio to be turned on. The higher
squelch level requires stronger signal.
