Page 16: Quiet Talk/ Digital Quiet Talk
QUIET TALK/ DIGITAL QUIET TALK QT (Quiet Talk) and DQT (Digital Quiet Talk) are functions that reject signals from undesired parties that are using the same channel as you. You will hear audio from the speaker only when you receive a signal that contains a tone or code matching the one set up on the channel you are using. -
Page 17: Scanning The Channels
SCANNING THE CHANNELS You can scan both channels of the transceiver to search for a signal. When the transceiver verifies a signal on a channel, it proceeds to check whether or not its QT/ DQT setting matches that which is set up on your transceiver. If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. -
Page 18: Revert Channel

Page 20: Voice Activated Control (Vox)
VOICE ACTIVATED CONTROL (VOX) Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in mircrophone. For best operation conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth. - Page 21 To enjoy the VOX function, take the time to properly adjust the VOX Gain. This level controls the VOX circuit to detect the presence or absence of your voice. 1 Turn the transceiver power OFF. 2 Press and hold the MENU key while turning the transceiver power ON (for 1 second).
- Page 22 While using VOX, you can set the transceiver to detect when the channel is busy. With this function turned on, VOX will not allow you to transmit while the channel is being used. You can transmit only when the channel is free. 1 Turn the transceiver power OFF.
