TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT) The Time-out Timer prevents callers from using a channel for an extended duration (default 60 seconds). If you continuously transmit for the duration, transmission will stop and an alert tone will sound. To stop the tone, release the PTT switch. 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. 12
