• The VOR function can be configured via the device's settings file when connected to a computer. Refer to the 'SetTime' or configuration text file for detailed instructions on adjusting VOR sensitivity.
• When VOR is active, the device will enter standby mode when no sound is detected, resuming recording automatically when sound returns.
