VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in
microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
VOX OPERATION
1
Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}.
2
To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.
• You do not need to press the
PTT
switch; the transceiver
automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. The
LED lights red.
3
To stop transmitting, stop speaking.
• Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop speaking.
You can select the delay time as described on page 30.
4
To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to
“
” (VOX function off).
VOX Gain Level
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you
transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission
and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such
that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient
noise.
