2. Voice Activated Recording (VOS)
The VOS function allows the recorder to start recording automatically when sound is detected (above 50dB) and pause when silence occurs, saving storage space.
- To activate VOS mode, ensure the device is off.
- Slide the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The device will enter VOS mode automatically if enabled. (Specific steps to enable/disable VOS might be in a configuration file on the device when connected to a PC. Please check the device's root directory for a settings file if VOS doesn't activate by default.)
- Recording will begin when sound is detected and pause when sound drops below the threshold.
- To stop VOS recording and save, slide the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
