Using theVariable Control Voice Actuator (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 stopping recording during silent periods, which helps the playback to be more efficient.
