VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX) VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. VOX can only be used if you are using a supported headset. This function can be turned off for specific channels. To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps: 1 Connect the headset to the transceiver . • The VOX function does not activate when a headset is not connected to the accessory terminal of the transceiver. 2 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 key while turning the transceiver power ON. 3 Continue to hold the Side 1 key until a beep sounds. • The LED indicator lights turn orange. • When the Side 1 key is released, the transceiver will announces the VOX Gain level (the default level is OFF, so, a double beep sounds). 4 Press the Side 1 key to select the VOX Gain level of the radio (from 1~10 or Off). • Press the Side 2 key to turn VOX ON/OFF for the current channel (you can change this setting for each channel by selecting a channel with the Channel selector). When turned ON, a beep sounds. When turned OFF, a double beep sounds. 5 Press the PTT switch to save the setting. • A beep will sound. • The transceiver announces the new VOX Gain level. 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 5 seconds. ◆ VOX Gain level 1 is the least sensitive and VOX Gain level 10 is the most sensitive. ◆ If a headset 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 transmission.
