Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)
When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset threshold volume level, the
built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when
the volume drops below the threshold level.
The VCVA feature extends recording time and conserves memory by stopping recording
during silent periods, which helps the playback to be more efficient.
