Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

The Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) is a function that starts recording automatically when the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, and automatically pauses when the volume drops below the threshold. The VCVAfeature allows you to conserve memory by automatically stopping recording in instances like long silent periods during meetings.

When this is enabled, VCVA will appear on the display.
