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.

(page 8).
The VOX function does not activate
when a headset is not connected to
the speaker/ microphone jack of the
transceiver.
Press and hold the Lock key while
turning the transceiver power ON.
Continue to hold the Lock key until the
LED flashes orange one time and the
transceiver announces “VOX”, then
release the key. Upon releasing the key,
the transceiver will announce the current
VOX Gain level.
