So, to talk to the workers in the materials stores, the end-user simply clicks through the different
channels (using the rotary selector) until "STORES" is displayed, and pushes the PTT button.
Similarly, if the factory manager has Scanning activated (see earlier section for description of
Scanning), and a call involving the warehouse staff is taking place, "WRHOUSE" is displayed and
the manager knows immediately with which group of people she is communicating.
3.4.11 High/Low Transmit Power
The P Series radios support two different output power settings. If required, one of the radio side
buttons can be programmed to allow the user to switch between these two settings.
The ability to choose between high and low transmit power enables your customer's workers to
either:
Select the low power setting to maximise battery life
Select the high power setting to maximise communication range
For example, consider the requirements of a forestry worker:
While working relatively close to his fellows workers, he selects the low power setting to conserve
battery power.
However, when he is working at a remote location, he simply selects the high power setting to
ensure that he is still in touch with the rest of the team.
3.4.12 VOX
The VOX feature built into all P Series radios enables your customer's staff to operate the radio in
hands-free mode. This increases the productivity of the workforce by allowing calls to be made and
received without the need for staff to have to stop working and put down their tools.
This capability would be of signiÞcant beneÞt to a construction site worker, allowing him to receive or
give instructions while operating a crane (or other piece of machinery).
Another typical application is a supermarket, where ßoor staff need to liase with warehouse staff to
ensure shelves are kept stocked. The VOX capability means that the ßoor staff have their hands free
to move or count stock, while the warehouse staff are free to drive forklifts or carry boxes.
VOX operation requires the use of a special headset - calls are automatically made whenever the
radio user talks into the headset microphone.
Once the headset is Þtted to the radio via the side accessory connector, all received audio is
automatically routed to the headset.
This means that the radio users gain the inherent beneÞts of wearing a headset - received calls are
not shared with everyone else in the vicinity. This additional beneÞt is particularly relevant to the
earlier supermarket scenario, allowing ßoor staff to communicate without annoying their customers.
Once activated, the VOX feature intelligently senses background noise and automatically adapts
itself to ensure optimum performance for any background noise level.
