VOX SETTINGS
The VOX feature allows you to have hands-free conversations. When you speak, the microphone
automatically detects your voice (or other nearby sound) causing the radio to transmit without the need
to press the PTT.
To set the radio for VOX operation:
1. Press and hold the Menu key until the radio beeps.
2. Briey press the Menu key repeatedly until ‘VX’ is displayed. The symbol will be ashing.
3. Press the or keys to set the VOX sensitivity from 1 (min) to 3 (max). A minimum setting
requires a louder voice to activate the VOX while a maximum setting will activate the VOX
with a much softer voice.
4. To disable the VOX completely, set the VOX sensitivity to ‘oFF’.
5. Press the PTT switch to conrm and store your selection.
When VOX is enabled, the icon is visible on the display.
Note: Using the radio in a noisy environment with the VOX sensitivity set to maximum could cause the
radio to transmit unexpectedly. If this happens simply reduce the sensitivity setting.
VOX will not operate with a speaker microphone connected or a earpiece mic that is set to PTT.
SQUELCH LEVEL SETTING

signals to be heard.
