- Page 16 Battery Save Function The Battery Save function decreases the amount of power used when a signal is not being received and no operations are being performed (no keys are being pressed, and no switches are being turned) thereby increasing standby time. While the channel is not busy and no operation is performed for 10 seconds, Battery Save turns ON.
- Page 17 VOX (Voice-operated Transmission) The TX-2 has a multi-level sensitivity built-in VOX function. You can enjoy talking and listening without pressing PTT key as transmit is automatically activated by sound. This turns your radio into hands-free “walk & talk” when used with a headset.
- Page 18 Scan: A scan function is useful when you want to find other people on similar frequencies or to monitor communication within your group. If an active channel is found the scan will stop and lock on to that channel. You can now transmit and receive on this frequency.
