6 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate VOX. Note: ◆ The transceiver will automatically return to normal operation if no action is performed for 20 seconds. ◆ VOX Gain level 1 is the least sensitive and VOX Gain level 5 is the most sensitive. ◆ When the microphone with earphone/hanger is inserted and the VOX function is enabled, battery save mode will be disabled. ◆ If a microphone with earphone/hanger is connected to the transceiver while the VOX function is switched ON and the VOX Gain level is configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received signals may cause the transceiver to start transmitting. PROGRAMMABLE AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS Your dealer can program the PF-1 key (press/hold) and PF-2 key (hold only) each with one of the following functions. ■ None No function is programmed for the key. ■ Low Transmit Power Press to toggle the transmit power between high and low. ■ Monitor Press this key to deactivate QT or DQT signaling. Press the key again to return to normal operation. ■ Scan Press this key to turn the Scan function on and off. Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present. If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues. 13
