Sending a Call Alert Tone
To send a Call Alert Tone, press the
PTT
key twice in rapid action. The Call Alert Tone will be automatically transmitted
for a fixed length of time. During transmission, the
Call
icon will appear on the display and a Call Alert Tone is also locally
generated for confirmation of operation. The COMMUNICATOR will return to standby mode following completion of the
Call Tone sequence. For optimum performance, make sure the ANTENNA is pointing upright.
Voice Operated Transmission (VOX)
Your KP5X COMMUNICATOR is equipped with a user selectable
Voice Operated Transmitter (VOX)
that can be used
for automatic voice transmission. In this convenient mode, transmission is automatically initiated by speaking into the
microphone. There is no need to push the
PTT/Call
key.
To adjust VOX level:
1. Enter to
Menu
mode. Advance through the Menu until the
VOX
icon appears on the display.
2. Press the
Up
or
Down
key to toggle between On and Off function of the VOX. When VOX feature is on, the VOX icon
will appear on the LCD display.
3. To exit the Menu, press PTT/Call key.
To get the full advantage of the convenience of a hands free transmission and the privacy of conversation, you
can purchase an Ear Bud with Microphone (see Accessory Order Form) to be used in conjunction with the VOX
feature of your COMMUNICATOR.
To use the Ear Bud:
1. Set your COMMUNICATOR to VOX Mode.
2. Lift the Headset / Charger Jack Cover located at the side of your unit.
3. Insert the Ear Bud Jack into the Headset Jack. Wear the Ear Bud and adjust the Microphone location.
The Auto Squelch Feature
Your KP5X COMMUNICATOR is equipped with an automatic squelch system that automatically cuts off weak
transmissions and unwanted noise due to terrain conditions and range limitations.
The Automatic Power Save Feature
Your KP5X COMMUNICATOR has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend battery life. If it senses no
transmission within 5 seconds, it automatically switches to the power save mode. The COMMUNICATOR can still receive
transmissions in this mode.
The Display Backlit Display Feature
Your unit’s LCD Backlight display automatically lights up for 5 seconds with the press of any key.
