Recording using Voice Activation
Voice Activation can be enabled in the record menu. When voice-activated recording is enabled, recording will start when you
begin speaking. When you stop speaking, the recorder will automatically pause recording after three seconds of silence and
resume only when you begin speaking again. The trigger level for voice activation can be adjusted using the (+ / - ) buttons
on the front of the recorder. When activated, the symbol is displayed in the information bar at the top of the screen. Use the
voice activation mode only when necessary and in the optimal conditions to prevent missing audio in your recordings.
