VX6100 - What is "driving mode"?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

It's on the voice commands menu.
"Driving: Switches the hands-free driving mode on and off." ("78" in the
user manual)

See also "99" in the manual.
"Allows you to switch hands-free calling on and off during driving without
the need for a hands-free kit."
"Note: When flip is closed, you can press the voice dial key for 3 seconds
to set driving mode"

Since it is on the voice commands menu, I would presume you need to check
out voice dialing and speakerphone.

While reviewing a post about activating the Driving Mode, (see below) I
discovered that if, for whatever reason, you press and hold the same
button, the smaller lower left button, (while the phone is open) you'll
put the phone into memo mode and you'll record the conversation of the
person on the other end of a call.

I discovered this when I was testing the Driving Mode. But instead of
pressing and holding the button while the phone was closed, I did it
when it was open. The message on the phone was that the memo was "full".
When I played back what was recorded, I learned that is was my
conversation of 3 days ago. Only the voice of the caller was
recorded???? Apparently I inadvertently pressed and held that button
while I was on the call.

Driving Mode automatically announces to you who is calling from the
speakerphone. You can say "Accept" to take the call; otherwise it goes to
voice mail. It also turns on your voice commands so that you can use/say
"digit dial" or "schedule", etc.. (see voice command menu) to have other
functions work on voice command.

Yes, it can definitely be used "hands-free" w/ the speakerphone. You'll
need to leave the phone open; in theory the phone can be closed, but then I
believe the caller may here a bit of an echo. So instead, just open the
phone.

I believe if you flip the clam shell closed and then open, it'll ask you for
a voice command. Alternatively, you may be able to push one of the side
buttons to give a voice command; I'm not to sure about that one, but it
would be easy to find out, of course.
