Here is how you would turn the V895’s
AutoMute feature off.

both the CITY and BRT buttons down for 2
seconds. The V895 will beep twice and
display Program.

will scroll through the categories, starting
with Display (Pilot), then Voice(Voice),
then Power-On sequence (PwrOn), and
then AutoMute (aMute).

shows the AutoMute item. Since the
factory setting is for AutoMute to be on,
the V895 will display aMute ON.
(If you accidentally don’t release the
Review button in time, and the V895 goes
to the next category, hold the RVW button
down again, and after the V895 scrolls
through all categories, it will begin again
at the top of the list.)
