Page 18: Voice Operated Transmission (Vox)
VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX) Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in microphone. For best operating conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth. - Page 19 Press the Lock key to increase the VOX Gain level and the Scan key to decrease the level. The VOX Gain can be adjusted from level 1 to level 10 and OFF. The transceiver announces the VOX Gain level as you adjust it. If OFF is selected, the transceiver announces “Off”.
-
Page 20: Vox Operation
VOX O PERATION Set up a VOX Gain level from 1 to 10 {page 10}. To transmit, simply speak into the headset microphone. You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. To stop transmitting, stop speaking. -

Page 23: Background Operations
BACKGROUND OPERATIONS (TOT) IMER The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from using a channel for an extended period of time. This function is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the PTT switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time you can continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on battery power consumption. -
