Using the handheld microphone VOX function
The supplied handheld microphone can be used as a
VOX microphone, so that the switch to transmit is
voice-activated and the PTT button does not need to
be pressed to transmit. To activate the VOX function
you have to press and hold the [M] key on the micro-
phone, the green LED on the microphone will light up.
To deactivate the VOX, press and hold the [M] button
on the microphone again.
Note: The unit only switches to transmit when the
channel is not in use or only at very low volume level
(when using the original VOX microphone) to avoid
feedback during VOX operation. For a trouble-free
VOX operation it is recommended to connect only
one microphone

phone UP key. Then push UP key repeatedly until the

lected level is stored automatically.

tomatically.
