STUN/UNSTUN

When the VOX accessory is connected, your
radio may be used with hands-free operation.

The VOX feature intelligently senses
background noise, so that it adapts
automatically to the noise level in the

UTILITIES

environment in which you are working.
To star t the VOX feature:

1. Ensure that the VOX accessory is
connected to the rear accessory connec­tor of the radio.

2. Switch the radio to a VOX channel.

You can disable the VOX feature by pressing
the PTT button on the hand held microphone.
This allows you to use the hand held
microphoneas normal.

To re-enable the VOX feature:

1. Change channel away from and back to
the VOX channel.

For added security and to avoid abuse of the
radio system in which you operate, a feature
known as Stun/Unstun is included in your
radio.

This feature can only be activated by your
system manager or administrator.

For example, if your radio is stolen and is being
used illegally, your system administrator can
send a signal which will stun the radio making
it incapable of being used. This feature is also
useful if the system is being abused by a user
whoisnotcomplyingwiththecorrect
communications protocol.

The radio can only be unstunned, i.e. returned
to operational use, by an unstun signal sent
from the system administrator or returning the
radio for reprogramming.
