What is VOX?
The VOX (voice operated transmission) function
starts transmission when you speak into the
microphone, without pushing [PTT], and then
automatically returns to reception when you stop
speaking.
D Optional unit connection
1. Hold down [
] for 1 second to turn OFF the
power.
2. Remove the jack cover. (p. 1-3)
3. Connect the optional HS-94, HS-95 or HS-97 and
VS-4LA or OPC-2004LA.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the transceiver without
the connector cover or the optional microphone

for dust protection and splash resistance only when
the connector cover or the optional microphone is
attached.

1. Connect an optional headset and plug adapter
cable to the transceiver, and then turn ON the
power.
2. Push [FUNC], and then push [VOX] to turn the
VOX function ON or OFF.
• "VOX" is displayed when the VOX function is ON.
NOTE:
• When using the VOX function, adjust the
microphone gain and the VOX-related settings
(p. 13-4) to suit your operating environment
(including your headset performance).
• Set the microphone gain before setting the VOX
gain in the Set mode. (p. 9-3)
We recommend setting the microphone gain to 3.
• When 'TX permission' is set to "OFF" in the Set
mode (p. 9-3), you cannot transmit using the
VOX function.

Questions and answers
I bought this thinking it was a simple ship to shore to call bridges on the ICVW. How do I call on for example, Channel 9?
To call on Channel 9 using the Icom IC-V86, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the transceiver.
2. Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory mode.
3. Use [Y] or [Z] to navigate to Channel 9.
4. Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button to transmit.
5. Release the PTT button to listen.
This will allow you to call on Channel 9.
