the lip microphone is made more or less sensitive to activation via the user’s voice and/or surrounding
noise levels.
Tip(s):
1) Press (+) as the noise becomes louder (therefore making the microphone less sensitive to outside
noise) and viceversa as noise levels drop.
2) Setting 1 is for low noise applications. Setting 5 is for extreme noise applications. Try different
settings until the optimum setting is found.
3) Setting 1 requires minimal voice level to activate the microphone. Setting 5 requires maximum voice
level to activate the microphone.
4) Do not pause when talking during transmissions, VOX will turn off during pauses
5) Ensure lip microphone is no more than 5mm away from the mouth.
A voice message will conrm each new setting as the (+)(-) keys are pressed. There are 5 VOX sensitivity
levels and an off position. Off can be activated by scrolling down to level 1 then hold the (-) key down for
1 second and release, a voice message conrmation will follow saying “vox off”. To reactivate push the
(+) key once and the mode will revert back to the level 1 vox setting. (i.e. the most sensitive microphone
