VOX FUNCTION
This feature enables you to have hands-free conversation. When using the internal
microphone/speaker or an external microphone/headset (purchased separately), your
voice or the signal is detected and the radio transmits and receives automatically.
When in the VOX mode, a short beep will sound after the termination of any VOX
generated transmission.
VOX SENSITIVITY SELECTION
This feature allows the user to select the voice/signal level at which the unit will trans-
mit. The high sensitivity setting ( HI ) should be used in low background noise environ-
ments or when whispering. The low sensitivity setting ( LO ) should be used in high
background noise environments. The normal (MID) setting can be used in most all
typical applications. To access the VOX Selection menu:
1. From the FRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the right menu
button four times; VOX will appear on the LCD display together with the flashing
VOX icon ( ) and a flashing OFF, LO, MID or HI indication.
2. Press the Up Button (6) or the Down Button (11) to choose the VOX sensitivity
setting desired (LO, MID or HI).
3. Press the Monitor (M) button (14) to confirm your selection.
VOX DELAY TIME SELECTION
This feature allows the response time characteristics of the VOX function to be pre-
cisely adjusted to suit individual needs. The
VOX Recovery Time Selection menu is
accessible from the SET UP menu and provides choices of OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds.
(Refer to the SET UP mode for VOX Recovery Time Selection.)
FM RADIO MODE
The FM Radio Mode provides the user with FM radio capability, thereby allowing FM
radio enjoyment even though other modes of the FRS-1500XTM are being used.
The various FM radio features are listed on the Operational Modes flow diagram, and
include most FM receiver characteristics. To enter the FM RADIO mode, proceed as
follows:
1. From the FRS TWO WAY mode (CH and CODE displayed), press the Function
(F) button once; FM RADIO appears on the display accompanied by a short
melody.
2. Approximately 2 seconds later, the FM standby display appears showing FM
and the current station frequency (in MHz).
