automacally detects your voice (or other nearby sound) causing the radio to transmit without the
need to press the PTT switch.

2. Briey press the Menu key repeatedly unl ‘Uo’ is displayed.
3. Press the

seng requires a louder voice to acvate the VOX while a maximum seng will acvate
the VOX with a much soer voice.
4. To disable the VOX completely, set the VOX sensivity to ‘oF’.
5. Press the PTT switch to conrm and store your selecon.

Using the radio in a noisy environment with the VOX sensivity set to maximum could cause the
radio to transmit unexpectedly. If this happens simply reduce the sensivity seng.
Squelch Level Seng
The Squelch is designed to keep the radio quiet when there are no signals present. The squelch
seng adjusts the sensivity of the squelch to incoming signals. Higher squelch sengs require
stronger signals to overcome the squelch and be heard in the speaker while lower sengs allow
much weaker signals to be heard.
To set the squelch:
1. Hold the Menu key for 2 seconds. The channel number will ash.
2. Press the Menu key repeatedly unl ‘Sq’ is displayed. The current squelch level will ash.
