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.
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when the
transceiver transmits. Because of this, you must take care that
the ambient noise around you is not so loud that it causes the
transceiver to transmit. Due to the automatic switching between
transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX
Gain level such that it will not activate transmission when in an
area with excessive ambient noise.
