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 Press and hold the key programmed as VOX for 2 seconds.
• On K2/K3/K/K/K7 model transceivers, the icon appears
on the display.
3 To transmit, simply speak into the microphone.
• The transceiver recognizes sound levels depending on the
VOX Gain level. If the microphone is too sensitive, it will begin
transmitting when there is noise in the background. If it is
not sensitive enough, it will not pick up your voice when you
begin speaking. Be sure to adjust the VOX Gain level to an
appropriate sensitivity to allow smooth transmission.
4 When you finish speaking, the transceiver automatically
returns to receive mode.
• Depending on the pre-programmed delay time, it may take a
moment before returning to receive mode. The delay time is
present to ensure that the end of your conversation is not cut
off when you finish speaking.
5 To turn the VOX function OFF, press and hold the VOX key
again, for 2 seconds.
Note:
◆
If a speaker/ microphone 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.
◆
When you operate the VOX function, you must use an optional
KHS-BL, KHS-, KHS--BH, or KHS--OH accessory.
