Turning the Voice Operating Transmission
(VOX) Feature On or Off
This feature allows you to initiate a hands-free voice activated
call on a programmed channel. The radio automatically
transmits, for a programmed period, whenever the microphone
on the VOX-capable accessory detects voice.
NOTE: You may need to turn off the radio and power it up
again after detaching the VOX-capable microphone
to allow the radio to switch to another valid accessory.
The microphone source must be preconfigured and the
VOX-capable accessory attached to the preconfigured
port.
Pressing the PTT button during radio operation disables VOX.
To re-enable VOX, do one of the following:
• Turn the radio off and power it on again, OR
• Change the channel via the Channel Up/Down Buttons, OR
