Using the Variable Control VoiceActuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops below the threshold level.

The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by turning off recording

2 during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, more efficient and convenient.
