◆ If the belt clip is not installed, its mounting location
may get hot during continuous transmission or when
left sitting in a hot environment.
◆ Use the Phillips #2 screwdriver.
CAUTION
◆ Do not use glue which is designed to prevent screw loosening when installing the
belt clip, as it may cause damage to the transceiver. Acrylic ester, which is contained
in these glues, may crack the transceiver’s back panel.

Reserved Group Setup (Digital)
Reserved Group Setup allows you to configure the Reserved Group ID.
Reserved Group ID is the ID that is the destination of Group Call communication
in the channel where Selcall on PTT > Call Type (NXDN) is set to “Reserved
Group”.
You can set the Reserved Group ID from “00001” to “65519”. The default ID is
“00100”.
• Only on the channels in Zone 4 of NX-P1300NU, Reserved Group function
(making a Group Call with the Reserved Group ID) can be used by default
settings.
• If you use Reserved Group function on NX-P1200NV or the other zones of NXP1300NU, the settings by your dealer are required.

Operation
• If Transmit Mode is set to “Analog”, the transceiver will respond to a call in
Analog format.
• If Transmit Mode is set to “NXDN” (Digital), the transceiver will respond to a call
in NXDN format.
• In a mixed channel, if the transceiver receives matched Signaling (QT/DQT/
RAN), the transceiver will be able to transmit in the same mode as that of
the received signal before the Signaling Reset Timer (10 seconds) elapses,
regardless of the Transmit Mode settings.
- This operation of transmitting in the same mode as that of the received
signal is called Talkback.
- The operation when transmission is done on a mixed channel while
receiving a signal is as follows.

signals on your channel. You will hear a call only when you receive a signal that
contains a matching QT tone or DQT code. If a call containing a different tone or
code is received, squelch will not open and you will not hear the call. Likewise,
when transmitting using QT tone or DQT code, the receiving station must have a
matching tone or code to hear your call.
Be aware that other parties can still hear your calls if they set up their transceiver
with the same tone or code.

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
VOX (VOX/ Semi-VOX) operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature
can be enabled by your dealer. To operate VOX, you must use an optional
headset.
VOX Type
VOX: When the voice level to the microphone is higher than the reference level
(VOX Gain Level), the transceiver automatically starts transmission.
Semi-VOX: Transmission is started by pressing the PTT switch or the button
programmed as [Second PTT], and transmission continues while speaking, even
after the PTT switch or the button programmed as [Second PTT] is released.
The Semi-VOX function is effective in the following cases.
• Incorrect transmission due to noise.
• Voice at the start of transmission is interrupted.
VOX Function Setup
To activate VOX and set the VOX Gain level, perform the following steps:
1 Connect the 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 button while turning
the transceiver power ON.
3 Continue to hold the Side 1 button until Beep A (1 beep) sounds.
• The LED lights yellow.
• When the Side 1 button is released, the transceiver will announce: Zone
number, Channel number, VOX Gain level.
4 Use the button below to set VOX function.
VOX function ON/ OFF
Press the Side 2 button to toggle VOX function ON or OFF for the current
zone-channel. When turned ON, Beep A (1 beep) sounds. When turned OFF,
Beep B (2 beeps) sounds.
• You can change this setting for each zone and channel (selecting a zone:
press and hold the Side 2, selecting a channel: rotate the Selector).
VOX Gain Level Adjustment
Press the Side 1 button to set the VOX Gain level, from 1 (least sensitive) to
10 (most sensitive).
VOX/ Semi-VOX Selection
Press and hold the Side 1 button to toggle VOX type to VOX or Semi-VOX.
When Semi-VOX is selected, Beep A (1 beep) sounds. When VOX is selected,
Beep B (2 beeps) sounds.

5 Press the PTT switch to save the settings.
• Beep A (1 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 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 transmission.
◆ If no action is performed for 20 seconds, the transceiver will automatically return to
normal operation without changing any settings.
VOX Operation
1 To transmit, simply speak to the microphone.
2 When you finish speaking, transmission ends.
Semi-VOX Operation
1 To transmit, press the PTT switch or the button programmed as [Second PTT].

◆ While the Battery Saver is operating, the LED may flash green when receiving a QT/
DQT/RAN signal which does not match the QT/DQT/RAN set up in your transceiver.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
While operating the transceiver, the Low Battery Warning sounds an alert tone
every 30 seconds and the LED blinks red when the battery needs recharged or
replaced.
