SCAN
Scan is useful for monitoring signals on the transceiver channels. When scanning, the transceiver checks for a signal on each channel and only stops if a signal is present.
If the QT/DQT matches, the transceiver stops at the channel and opens the squelch so you can listen to the call. If the QT/DQT does not match, the call is ignored and scanning continues.
Before you can use the scan function, ensure that it is activated. You can turn the scan function (the ability to perform scan) ON or OFF in Setting Mode.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}. 2 Press the
or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or to

key for 1 second.
2 When a signal is detected and the QT/ DQT matches, the
channel number appears on the display and blinks.
3 When the signal is no longer present, the transceiver waits
for 5 seconds before scanning continues.
• If a new signal appears before the 5 seconds elapse, the transceiver will remain on the channel until the new signal is no longer present, at which time it will again wait for 5 seconds before continuing.
27
4 To end the scan at any time, press and hold the key for
1 second.
• The transceiver returns to the channel you were using before you started scanning.
REVERT CHANNEL
The revert channel is the channel from which you start scanning. So, for example, if you are on channel 1 when you begin to scan, your revert channel is channel 1.
During scan, pressing the PTT switch will automatically select the transceiver’s revert channel (in the above example, channel
1) and you will begin transmitting. However, if you are currently paused on another channel after having received a signal (for example, channel 2), pressing the PTT switch will allow you to transmit on that channel, rather than returning to the revert channel. Scanning will resume after 5 seconds, unless a signal is present on the channel.
SQUELCH LEVEL
You can adjust the default squelch level of the transceiver.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}. 2 Press the
or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)
Using the VOX feature, you can operate the transceiver hands-free. In order to use this feature, however, you must use an optional headset; VOX will not function with the built-in microphone. For best operation conditions, we recommend you use an optional headset with both an ear piece and a microphone on a boom that rests in front of your mouth.
VOX OPERATION
1 Set up a VOX gain level from 1 to 5 {below}. 2 To transmit, speak into the headset microphone.
• You do not need to press the PTT switch; the transceiver automatically detects your voice and begins transmitting. The LED lights red.
3 To stop transmitting, stop speaking.
• Transmission will continue momentarily after you stop speaking. You can select the delay time as described on page 30.
4 To exit VOX mode, set the VOX gain level {below} to
” (VOX function off).
VOX Gain Level
With VOX activated, your voice level will determine when you transmit. Due to the automatic switching between transmission and reception, we recommend you set the VOX gain level such that it will not activate when in an area with excessive ambient noise.
1 Enter the Setting Mode {page 24}. 2 Press the
or key to select “ ”.
3 Press the MENU key then press or to
select “ (VOX gain level 1) to “
” (VOX function off) or “
” (VOX gain level
5).
