As a result, the transceiver can reduce the influence of the background noise (particularly treble noise) on the transmitted signal. • The noise cancellation can produce no effect according to conditions such as loudness and type of noise, or the position and distance between the noise source and the microphone, etc. • The noise cancellation does not work when an optional external speaker-microphone is connected.
