Hands-Free Use:

TM
T6202, T6212 and T6222 radios have built-in Voice
Activated Transmission (VOX) capability. This means the sound
of your voice activates transmission when the radio is used with
a VOX audio accessory.
Note:
When using optional audio accessories with your radio, we
recommend that the volume level be kept at a comfortable
listening level. Before you place the accessory on your
head or in your ear, turn the volume down.
To Use VOX Feature:
1. Ensure radio is turned off.
2. Plug the audio accessory’s connector into the jack on the left
hand side of the radio.
3. Turn the radio on and lower volume before placing accessory
on head or in ear. The flashing
g
icon will appear on the
display to indicate that the VOX feature is active.
4. Use the up
]
or down
[
button to adjust volume to a
comfortable level.
5. To transmit, speak into the accessory microphone. To receive,
stop talking.
Note:
There will be a brief delay between when you start talking
and the radio transmitting, and a longer delay between
when you stop talking and the radio going back to receive,
to allow for speech pauses.
Reset to Push-To-Talk Mode:
1. Press
M
button once. The
g
icon will disappear.
2. To transmit, press the
M
button on the radio. To receive,
release the
M
button.
3. To return to VOX mode, turn the radio off, then on again with
the accessory in place.
To Select VOX Sensitivity:
Talkabout
TM
T6202, T6212 and T6222 radios allow you to adjust
the VOX sensitivity of the radio to compensate for varying levels
of background noise and speech. The VOX edit mode allows you
to choose between high, medium and low settings. For example
if you speak loudly, or are in a noisy environment, the low setting
(
1
) should be selected and if you speak softly, or are in a quiet
environment, the high setting (
3
) should be selected. The
middle setting (
2
) is suitable for most applications.
1. To enter the VOX sensitivity menu, ensuring the audio
accessory is in place, press the
\
button until the
g
icon
appears on the display. The channel number will be replaced
with VOX setting
1
,

.
2. Use the up
]
or down
[
button to change the VOX setting, if
required.

seconds or when you quick-press

or

.
Internal VOX

TM
T6212 and T6222 radios also have built in Internal
Voice Operated Transmission capability. This is a similar
function to the VOX because the sound of your voice activates
transmission, but no external accessories are needed.
