Hands Free (VOX) Mode
When Hands Free (VOX) Mode is selected the radio will
automatically transmit when the microphone detects your voice (or
other noise). It can be used with the internal microphone or a
suitable audio accessory (available separately). To avoid accidental
operation and reduce the effect of background noise, there are 5
microphone sensitivity settings.
To select the VOX sensitivity level, press the MODE button until the
VOX icon and current setting flashes. Use the UP or DOWN button
to change the sensitivity level (5 is the most sensitive). Press the
PTT or MODE button or wait for 5 seconds to store your choice.
To activate the VOX mode press and hold the MODE button until
the VOX icon appears. To de-activate VOX mode, press and hold
the MODE button until the VOX icon disappears. VOX mode can
only be activated if a sensitivity level has been selected.
Busy Channel Lock Out (BCLO) Mode (Advanced mode only)
Busy Channel Lock Out prevents you from transmitting when
another signal is present. Three modes are available:
a. Carrier only (CA)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is
present on the same channel, regardless of the privacy code.
b. Correct Tone (CT)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is
present on the same channel, using the same privacy code as your
current setting.
c. Different Tone (DT)
This will prevent your radio from transmitting when a signal is
present on the same channel, using a different privacy code setting.
To activate and select the BCLO mode, press the MODE button
until the BCLO icon and current setting flashes. Use the UP or
DOWN button to change the setting. Press the PTT or MODE
button or wait for 5 seconds to store your choice. A setting of 'Off'
will de-activate this mode.
The BCLO icon will appear when BCLO mode is active.
