Battery Display
The battery Icon shows the current voltage of the power source (Int or Ext) that is powering Deva at that
moment. Deva will auto switch. If external power is applied and a battery is inserted, The Deva operates
on the external power until it drops below 9.5v. It then automatically switches to the internal battery.
Important: The Deva does not charge the internal battery.

is on and audio is coming in, Deva will record up to 10 seconds of audio PRIOR to the record button being
pushed.
Note: The Pre-Record buffer works only with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or less
