› This is the default enabling mode. To start an Intercom
communication, simply start talking. The communication
will remain active for all the time you are talking. If there
is no conversation, the Intercom feature is automatically

talking again. When the Intercom is “VOX” activated, you
can decide to disable it before the predefined time, simply
by pressing the Intercom button once.
› To disable the voice enabling mode, follow the instructions
provided in the “Special configurations” section.
Attention: when you use the Intercom feature, the first
time you activate it (voice or manual) the communication
will be established with a short delay because of the fact
that the devices must first recognize each other. After
that the communication will be immediately established.
