Getting Started
Waterproof
The KG-805 is waterproof to IP55 standards. It is dust resistant and rated to withstand water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction for a limited period. This radio is resistant to dust and water only while the battery is properly installed and locked in place with no gaps and the accessory port is completely sealed with the accessory port cover. Use of a headset or other accessory will negate the dust and waterproofing features of this radio. The KG-805 is NOT submersible. Do not attempt to operate this radio if it has been submerged.
The radio charger is NOT dust or waterproof. Charge the radio only under dry conditions. DO NOT charge the radio when it is wet.
DO NOT expose the radio and charger to wet environments when charging.

VOX Function (VOX) – MENU 5
Voice Operated Transmit (VOX) automatically activates transmission when the radio detects a voice or other noise. It allows for hands-free operation when transmitting without physically pushing the Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch to do so. The KG-805 has 10 levels of sensitivity to detect sound, from 1 (most sensitive) to 10 (least sensitive). The higher the level, the more sound is needed to activate VOX.
