Voice Operated Transmission (Vox) - Kenwood TK-2180 Mode D'emploi

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMISSION (VOX)

VOX can be activated or deactivated by your dealer. VOX
operation allows you to transmit hands-free. This feature can
only be used if you are using a supported headset.
When operating VOX, you must set a VOX Gain level. This
setting allows the transceiver to recognize sound levels. If
the microphone is too sensitive, it will begin transmitting when
there is noise in the background. If it is not sensitive enough, it
will not pick up your voice when you begin speaking. Be sure
to adjust the VOX Gain level to an appropriate sensitivity to
allow smooth transmission.
To 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 Press the key programmed as VOX.
• The current VOX Gain level appears.
3 Press the <B and C> keys to increase or decrease the VOX
Gain level.
• The VOX Gain can be adjusted from levels 1 to 10.
4 While adjusting the gain level, speak into the headset
microphone as you would while under normal operation, to
test the sensitivity level.
• When the microphone recognizes a sound, the LED lights
orange. This allows you to determine a suitable level where
background noise will not activate VOX operation while
speaking into the microphone will.
• The transceiver does not transmit your voice during this test
procedure.
5 Press the S or
32
key to save the setting.
