6.2 VOX
mode
VOX (Voice Operated eXchange) enables the user to activate hands-free transmission (without pressing any buttons)
simply by speaking into the microphone. As such, the user is able to rest the radio on a nearby surface and speak a short
distance from the microphone, communicating hands-free.
VOX functions best with the optional microphone accessories available, which connect to the
SPK
and
MIC CHG
jacks.
Using these accessories, the microphone will always be close to the user’s mouth, and apart from the convenience of
being hands-free, this will give the user an even greater range of movement, especially with the radio clipped onto the
user’s belt.
VOX is equipped with two settings (sensitivity and delay), which allow for optimal use, as explained below.
!
If you use an external microphone, once you have finished using it, do not forget to replace the rubberized protective flap
on the radio.
