4. Setup
- Initial Charging: Upon receiving your voice recorder, connect it to a USB power source using the provided USB-C charging cable. Ensure the device is fully charged before first use. The indicator light will typically change or turn off when charging is complete.
- Set the Time: After fully charging, connect the recorder to a computer (Windows or Mac) using the data cable. The device will appear as a removable disk. Locate the time synchronization file (often named "time.txt" or similar, refer to the detailed manual if provided) and follow the instructions to synchronize the recorder's internal clock with your local time. This ensures accurate timestamps for your recordings.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Recording
- To begin recording, locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the recorder.

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.
- Ensure the recorder is in the OFF position.
- Connect the provided control cable and earphones to the recorder's headphone jack.
- 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.
- Connect the recorder to a computer.
- Locate the configuration file, typically named [RECSET] or similar, on the recorder's storage.
- Open this file using a basic text editor (e.g., Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac).
- 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.
- Save the [RECSET] file and safely eject the recorder from your computer.
- 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.
