Voice Operated Transmission (Vox) - Kenwood TK-D348R User Manual

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)

VOX operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature must first be
activated by your dealer, and can only be used if you are using a supported
headset. VOX can be turned off for specific channels by your dealer. To activate
VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps:
1 Connect a headset to the transceiver.
• The VOX function does not activate when a headset is not connected to
the accessory terminal of the transceiver.
2 With the transceiver power OFF, press and hold the Side 1 key while turning
the transceiver power ON.
3 Continue to hold the Side 1 key until a beep sounds.
• The LED indicator lights orange.
• When the Side 1 key is released, the transceiver will announce the VOX
Gain level.
4 Press the Side 1 key to set the VOX Gain level, from 1 (least sensitive) to 10
(most sensitive).
• Press the Side 2 key to enable or disable the VOX function for the current
channel (you can change this setting for each channel by selecting a
channel with the Channel selector). When turned ON, a beep sounds.
When turned OFF, a double beep sounds.
5 Press the PTT switch to save the setting.
• A beep will sound.
• The transceiver announces the new VOX Gain level.
6 Turn the transceiver power OFF and then ON again to activate VOX.
Note:
◆ If key lock or key lock with status memory is ON, you will be unable to enter VOX setup
mode.
◆ If a headset is connected to the transceiver while the VOX function is switched ON
and the VOX Gain level is configured to a higher, more sensitive level, louder received
signals may cause the transceiver to start transmitting.
◆ If no operation is performed for 20 seconds, the transceiver will exit VOX setup mode.
