VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX) VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature must first be activated by your dealer, and can only be used if you are using a supported headset. This function can be turned off for specific channels by your dealer. To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps: 1 Connect the microphone with earphone/hanger to the transceiver. • The VOX function does not activate when a microphone with earphone/hanger is not connected to the accessory terminal of the transceiver. 2 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Up key while turning the transceiver power ON. • The LED indicator lights yellow and "VOX" and the channel number are announced. 3 Press the PF-1 key to select the VOX Gain level of the radio (from 1 ~ 5 or Off). • The transceiver will announce the VOX Gain level. If the VOX Gain level is Off, a double beep sounds. • Press the PF-2 key to enable or disable the VOX function for the current channel (you can change this setting for each channel by selecting a channel with the Up/Down keys). When VOX is turned ON, a beep sounds. When it is turned OFF, a double beep sounds. 4 While adjusting the level, speak into the microphone to test the sensitivity level. When sound is recognized, the LED lights red. 5 Press and hold the PTT switch for 3 seconds to save the setting. • A beep will sound. 6 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate VOX. 12
