In VOX mode, your handset will transmit whenever it detects your voice (or other noise), without the TALK button pressed. It will transmit for at least 2 seconds, even if you stop talking. You may wish to use VOX mode if you're using a hands-free kit (see overleaf). The level of VOX sensitivity is shown by bars on the display.
