BATTERY-SAVER FEATURE
The battery-saver feature can be programmed by your dealer.
This function temporarily powers down the hardware when the
channel is not busy.
VOX OPERATION
Vox Operation is a special option that can be programmed on
or off at the factory. You can use the VOX operation feature
with an optional headset that can be connected to the radio via
the options connector.
If the your radio has the VOX option, you
can either toggle the VOX option ON/OFF
with a softkey/three-position switch
assigned to the VOX option, or on
advanced-model radios, you can use the
function menu.
If the options connector from the headset
is not attached, you cannot turn on VOX.
If the radio is in VOX mode and the
options connector is removed from the
radio, the radio automatically turns off
VOX mode.
To adjust the VOX trigger sensitivity
value:
1. Turn VOX ON by pressing and holding
the assigned softkey
2. Continue holding the softkey
3. Speak into the headset microphone at
the desired trigger volume level.
