1. Hands-free(VOX)function

In this function, Logosease automatically turns into transmitting mode
when you speak. Speak clear sound such as "EEE" at the first in receiving
mode. You will hear "pi, bo" from the speaker and the unit will turn into
transmitting mode automatically. The sound "EEE" is the switch to change
the mode to transmitting. A receiver will not hear the sound "EEE".
