Using Function Buttons (Mode Reset Timer)
Type
‘■Standard model ■Basic model
Description
Mode Reset Timer is the timer for canceling the standby status of further key entry in Function Mode, and for
canceling the function activation status of 2nd Function. By using this function, Function Mode does not need to
be disabled manually.
The function also helps by canceling the Function Mode automatically so as not to remain in Function Mode for
too long.
If no button is pressed before the amount of time configured in Mode Reset Timer expires, the transceiver
returns to the previous mode.
If a Function button is pressed, the transceiver waits for a function configured for 2nd Function to be activated,
and then Mode Reset Timer starts counting down. If no button is pressed before the amount of time configured
in Mode Reset Timer expires, the transceiver cancels waiting for the function to be activated. Mode Reset
Timer can be extended by button operation.

Description
Cycle
This function can be used to configure the number of times for theAlert Tone that
sounds from the transceiver. A number from 1 to 255 can be configured.
The Alert Tone sounds from the transceiver until it is manually stopped if “Infinite”
is configured.
If it is intended for theAlert Tone to sound multiple times, theAlert Tone does not
sound from the transceiver while the transceiver unmutes the speaker. Or, if the
matching state of Optional Signaling is reset, Alert Tone will also be disabled.

Restricting an Alert Tone When Consecutively Receiving a Call (Alert Tone Inhibit from 2nd Call)
Type
‘■Standard model ■Basic model
Description
Alert Tone Inhibit from 2nd Call is the function that disables the functions such as the storing of a Caller ID in
the transceiver stack memory and the activation of various alerts, if the transceiver consecutively receives an
Individual Call from the transceiver having the same Individual ID, or receives a Group Call with the same Group
ID after the transceiver receives an Individual Call or a Group Call.
For instance, emitting anAlert Tone from the transceiver every time the transceiver repeatedly and frequently
receives a call from the same party may be annoying. In that case, this function can be used to disable the Alert
Tone for sounding from the transceiver even if the transceiver receives a call from the same party in succession.

Note
If Alert Tone Inhibit from 2nd Call is enabled, various functions such as Alert Tone will not be activated upon
the reception of the second and subsequent calls from the same transceiver even if “Off” is configured in Auto

Reducing Battery Consumption (Battery Saver)
Type
‘■Standard model ■Basic model
Description
Battery Saver allows the transceiver to reduce power consumption by receiving intermittently.
The transceiver receives intermittently when there is no carrier and no button is pressed for 5 sec or more, or
when the transceiver is in the following states.
When there is a carrier, but the Color Code does not match the code preconfigured for the transceiver and no
button is pressed for 5 sec or more
Extension of the intervals for intermittent reception may reduce the battery consumption; however, interruptions
to introductory parts of received audio may occur. To use Battery Saver effectively, there are systemic issues to
consider, for instance, the duration from when the transceiver starts transmitting until the transceiver starts
sending audio.
Intervals for intermittent reception are as follows.

Using VOX (VOX Function)
Type
‘■Standard model ■Basic model
Description
VOX is the function to transmit audio just by speaking into a microphone without pressing the PTT switch.
This function can be used when a user cannot press the PTT switch, for instance, when a user is using both
hands for other tasks.
VOX Type
If VOX Function Preset is enabled, you can select either "VOX" or "Semi-VOX".
VOX :
The transceiver automatically detects an audio signal from the microphone.
When the voice level from the microphone is higher than the reference level (VOX Gain Level), the
transceiver automatically starts transmission.
Semi-VOX :
Transmission is started by pressing PTT and transmission continues even after PTT is released.
If VOX Function Preset is disabled, you cannot select the VOX Type.
VOX Gain Level
VOX Gain Level is the input sensitivity of the microphone for activating VOX. This function is used to adjust
the VOX to work properly based on the user’s voice tone or the surrounding noise when a user transmits by
speaking into a microphone.
VOX Delay Time
VOX Delay Time is the duration for which the transceiver retains the transmission after VOX transmission. If
the transceiver reverts to receive mode too quickly after a user pauses speaking, the last part of the speech
may not be transmitted. To avoid this situation, VOX Delay Time needs to be configured so that the whole
speech is transmitted and that the transmission retention time is not too long.
Upon the elapse of the time configured in VOX Delay Time after no audio is inputted to the microphone, the
transceiver terminates VOX transmission.
VOX transmission is terminated.
If audio is inputted to the microphone while VOX Delay Time is counting down, VOX Delay Time is reset and
the audio transmission continues.
Cancel by PTT
Cancel by PTT is the function to disable VOX by pressing the PTT switch when VOX is enabled.
If VOX is disabled by Cancel by PTT, VOX is enabled by pressing and holding the PF_BTN[VOX Function]
or by executing “VOX”after entering Menu Mode by pressing the PF_BTN[Menu] .
If the PF_BTN[VOX Function] button is not configured and “VOX”is not configured in Menu Mode, VOX can
be enabled by turning the transceiver OFF and ON again.
VOX Proceed Tone
VOX Proceed Tone is the tone that sounds from the transceiver to notify that the audio transmission becomes
available after the transmission is started by using VOX.
If VOX Proceed Tone is enabled, a VOX Proceed Tone that notifies that the audio transmission becomes
available sounds from the transceiver after the transmission is started by using VOX.
Transmit Inhibit while Receiving
Transmit Inhibit while Receiving is the function to restrict the VOX transmission while the speaker of the
transceiver is unmuted.
This function can be used to prevent VOX from being activated by audio emitted from the speaker.
If Transmit Inhibit while Receiving is enabled, the VOX transmission cannot be done while the speaker is
unmuted.
If Transmit Inhibit while Receiving is disabled, the VOX transmission can be done even while the speaker is
unmuted.
Operating the transceiver
Press PF_BTN[VOX] to execute PF_BTN[VOX Function].

VOX is turned on.
