Zoom H2 question on how to voice activate recording

Hi- I just bought the Zoom H2 that I am using to record college lectures. What I'd like to know is if the H2 can be set to voice activate.

What i am trying to do is have the H2 continuously start and stop recording automatically when it picks up/or doesn't pick up sound.
