5.2. Playback

The Vandlion V15 does not have a built-in speaker to maintain its compact size and prevent accidental audio output. Playback is done via earphones or by connecting to a computer.

1. Ensure the recorder is in the OFF position.
2. Connect the provided control cable and earphones to the recorder's headphone jack.
3. Slide the recorder to the ON position. The recorder will now be in playback mode, and you can listen to your recordings through the earphones. Use the controls on the wired controller to navigate through files and adjust volume.

5.3. Voice Activation Settings

The voice activation function (VOR) allows the recorder to start and stop recording automatically based on the presence or absence of sound, saving storage space and battery life by skipping silent segments.

1. Connect the recorder to a computer.
2. Locate the configuration file, typically named [RECSET] or similar, on the recorder's storage.
3. Open this file using a basic text editor (e.g., Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac).
4. Find the setting for VOR (Voice Operated Recording) and modify its value to 1 or 2 to activate it (the default is OFF). A higher number might indicate a higher sensitivity, but refer to the specific instructions in the full manual for precise values.
5. Save the [RECSET] file and safely eject the recorder from your computer.
6. When you power on the recorder by sliding the switch to ON, it will now operate in voice activation mode.

Important: It is generally not recommended to modify other parameters in the configuration file unless you are familiar with their functions, as incorrect settings may affect device performance.

To manage your recording files (view, delete, or play back), connect the Vandlion V15 Voice Recorder to a compatible computer (Windows or Mac) or an Android phone using the appropriate data cable. The device will appear as a removable storage drive, allowing you to access and manage your files directly.

Note: iPhone devices are generally not supported for direct file management due to their operating system restrictions.
