VOX DESCRIPTION
The VOX system on your new ChatterBox enables the microphone
to be voice activated.This means that when you speak the micro-
phone will automatically transmit your voice. It is best to think of the
VOX as the microphone sensitivity setting.
Turn the power switch to on. If you turn the VOX sensitivity dial
clockwise and speak through the microphone, the VOX operates and
automatically transmits.You will know you are transmitting when you
hear yourself in the headset speakers. Operation is totally automatic,
no external controls are required.
To receive, just listen in silence. If your mic is activated, you cannot
receive. Simultaneous transmission is not possible.You cannot talk
(activate your VOX) and hear a transmission from another
ChatterBox at the same time.
* You must wait until the end of one transmission to begin another.
VOX FUNCTION
The VOX adjustment knob on the front of your ChatterBox is the
single most important control on the unit. When set on “Hi” (high)
the microphone will easily pick up a normal speaking voice. Never
begin riding with the VOX set on “Hi”.This will cause the microphone
to constantly open and thus prevent proper communications as well
as decrease battery life.
When set between the “Hi” (high) and “Lo” (low) the microphone
sensitivity is reduced thus requiring a louder voice to activate.This is
necessary to prevent the microphone from transmitting due to wind
noise or loud exhaust systems, both of which can prematurely acti-
vate the VOX microphone. When the microphone transmits prema-
turely the channel is held open which causes a hissing noise in every-
body’s headset and prevents users from communicating.This is a situ-
ation many first time users experience while learning to properly
adjust the VOX. (To eliminate this situation, it is strongly recommend-
ed that first time users use a PTT “push to talk” button.) At the full
“Lo” setting the microphone is actually shut off so no transmission is
possible.
