VOICE ACTIVATED CONTROL (VOX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver
hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must
use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in
microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend
you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a
microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
voX operAtion
1 Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}.
2 To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.
• You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver
automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting.
3 To stop transmitting, stop speaking.
• Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop
speaking. You can select the delay time as described above.
4 To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to
“GL-oF” (VOX function off).
voX gAin
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you
transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission
and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain such that it
will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient noise.
1 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the MENU
key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
2 Press the or key to select “GL”.
