VOX function and its sensitivity
The VOX function lets you open the transmission by voice without the use
of the PTT button. To get the most use from the VOX feature you must first
determine what sensitivity (noise level) is needed to activate the VOX.
Push the Menu button for three times; “VOX” blinks on the display. Select
the desired VOX level by means of the ▲/▼ buttons and wait 3 seconds as
confirmation.
VOX can be adjusted in 3 positions:
1. High sensitivity (normal voice with no background noise)
2. Middle sensitivity
3. Low sensitivity (useful in very noisy areas or if you talk loudly)
To disable the VOX mode
Press the Menu button for three times. Select “OF” by means of the ▲/▼
buttons and then push PTT to confirm.
Attention: To use the VOX with the optional headset, move the small switch of
the headset to the VOX position. Move it back to PTT position if you don’t use
the VOX function.
Roger Beep: End transmission tone
When the PTT is released the radio will beep to confirm to other users that
your transmission is finished. This feature is enabled by default.
To disable it:
1. Press the Menu button till the display shows “rb”
2. Select “oF” by means of the ▲/▼ buttons.
3. Confirm your selection by pushing the PTT button.
