Hands-Free Use (VOX)

LOOK, NO HANDS!!

Your radio has built-in Voice Operated Transmission (VOX), which

allows you to transmit “hands-free” just by talking or using VOX

accessories. After VOX has been set and turned on, you can use it

anytime you want your hands free for other things.

To set VOX, select the

SETTINGS mode and the SET VOX menu,

select

VOX ON. When VOX is set to ON, your display shows g.

To turn on VOX, quickly press and release

{ and g will begin to flash. Your radio

will now transmit every time you talk. Press

{ to turn off VOX and return to the

regular way of transmitting. The gwill stop flashing. To reset VOX use, select

VOX

OFF

The VOX sensitivity level allows you to compensate for backgroundnoise. This

minimizes the chance of unintended noises triggering a transmission.

To set the VOX sensitivity level, select the

SETTINGS mode and the SET SENS

menu, then select high (

HI) for quiet environments, medium (MED), or low (LO) for

noisy environments.

VOX MED is recommended for most situations, although you

may need to experiment until you get the right setting.

When you connect a VOX accessory, the radio will automatically set to

VOX ON and

g will begin to flash, indicating that the radio is ready to transmit each time you talk.

When you transmit using a VOX headset, you’ll hear yourself talking through the

accessory speaker. This feature lets you know VOX is working.
