VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (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.

With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you

that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient
noise.

key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
