The nature of the distress call is automatically set to "MOB".

7.11 VOX OPERATION

The HX870E has the VOX (voice-actuated transmit/receive switching) feature,
which allows you to transmit and receive hands free by utilizing the optional
VOX headset VC-24 or those delivered from third-party venders.
Insert the plug of the VOX headset into the MIC/SP jack of the HX870E, then
speak to the microphone of the headset to start VOX operation.
The VC-24 is optimized for the use with the HX870E, so that you may use it
without detailed settings.
When you use a third-party VOX headset, set up the VOX operation of the
HX870E via the SETUP menu. Refer to section "13.10 VOX OPERATION"
for details.
