*
system prevents sound
interruptions when impacts
or vibrations occur. Electronic
anti-shock consumes less power and
increases the battery life.
Therefore, the
ESPX
function is always ON.
After many successive
impacts, the buffer might
be emptied causing a
brief sound interruption for the memory
to reload. The buffer is 40 seconds long.
