  • Page 14: Voice Operated Transmission (Vox)

    VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (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 microphone. For best operating 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 15 Press the Call key to increase the VOX Gain level and the Monitor key to decrease the level. The VOX Gain can be adjusted from level 1 to level 10 and OFF. The transceiver announces the VOX Gain level as you adjust it. If OFF is selected, the transceiver announces “Off”.

  • Page 16: Vox Operation

    VOX O PERATION Set up a VOX Gain level from 1 to 10 {page 10}. To transmit, simply speak into the headset microphone. You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. When you begin speaking, a beep will sound, informing you that the transceiver is transmitting.

  • Page 17: Key Functions

    KEY FUNCTIONS The default function of the Call key is Calling Alert. Calling alert tones are used to identify yourself to your party members and inform them that you are about to make a call. Your dealer can set up your transceiver with 1 of 10 different calling alert tones.

  • Page 18: Background Operations

    BACKGROUND OPERATIONS (TOT) IMER The purpose of the Time-out Timer is to prevent you from using a channel for an extended period of time. This function is useful, for example, when you accidentally keep the PTT switch pressed. Additionally, by limiting the amount of time you can continuously transmit, this feature helps you save on battery power consumption.

  • Page 19: Quiet Talk (Qt)/ Digital Quiet Talk (Dqt)

    (QT)/ D (DQT) UIET IGITAL UIET Quiet Talk (QT) and Digital Quiet Talk (DQT) 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 QT tone or a DQT code that matches the one set up on the channel you are using.

If the key is programmed “with Backup”, when the transceiver power is turned OFF and then ON again, the keys remain locked.

  • Page 31: Scan

    Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present. If the QT/ DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call.

  • Page 32: Revert Channel

    ■ Temporary Delete You can temporarily remove specific channels from the scanning sequence during Scan. When Scan pauses at a channel, you can remove that channel from the scanning sequence by pressing and holding the key programmed as Temporary Delete for 1 second or Scan + Temporary Delete for 3 seconds.
