Advanced Operations
In this section we’ll describe some advanced operation which you can do with your handheld transceiver:
Handsfree Transmit (VOX)
VOX (Voice Operated Transmit) is an automatic system, which allows you to automatically switch the
transmission in hands free mode just by speaking in the built-in microphone of a headset (not provided
with the unit). Please ensure that the headset is suitable for your transceiver as reported in the paragraph
“Microphone connection”.
1) Connect the optional headset with built-in microphone to the microphone connector located on the
transceiver’s side. Be sure the headset is equipped for “VOX” operation.
2) To activate “VOX”: Turn the radio off. Press and hold the “FUNC” + keys turn the radio on.
“VOX” icon will be displayed.
3) Ensure that the headset’s built-in microphone is located close to the side of your mouth.
4) Press the “FUNC” key + key to adjust the “VOX” sensitivity in order to ensure a stable
transmission when speaking with a normal voice level.

“VOX” icon will flash when LOW sensitivity is selected and on steady when HIGH sensitivity is
selected.
,
We recommend setting the “VOX” for minimum sensitivity. Sensitivity set too high could cause
accidental transmissions, especially in high noise environments.

“PTT” button is disabled during VOX.
5) To DEACTIVATE “VOX”: Turn off the radio. Press and hold the “FUNC” + keys. Turn the
radio on. The “VOX” icon will no longer be displayed. The “VOX” is now off.

sound.
To send an automatic “CALL”:
1) Press the “CALL” key for about 2-sec. to alert all the radios in your fleet.
2) A ringer type sound will advise the other parties about the incoming message.
3) Press the “PTT” and Speak with a normal voice level to send the message.
