Using the Variable 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 help extend recording time and conserve memory by turning off recording
during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, more efficient
and convenient.
