dio  level  is  below  a  predetermined  threshold  for  15  seconds,  then  the  voice  recorder  stops 
recording and enters the standby mode of the acoustic signal, without closing of the current 
file. Sound recording fragments are consistently registered in the current file (up to 70 frag-
ments  in  one  file).  For  each  voice  operated  switching  the  tag  indicating  date  and  time  of 
voice operated activation (the beginning of a fragment) will be created in the file (see para-
graph 

3

). Record fragments of voice operated switch will be separated in the file from each 

other with either silence, or beep (item 2.6 (

b

)). 

  

b)  Beep  between  fragments

.  After  switching  the  voice  activated  mode  on,  the  user  can 

choose a way of fragments separation in the current file. In case of setting a tag 

"Beep be-

tween  fragments",

  all  sound  recording  fragments  in  the  current  file  will  be  divided  by 

beeps,  or,  otherwise  by  silence.  Use  of  beeps  between  fragments  allows  the  user  to  define 
aurally the beginning of a new fragment when listening files. 
 

c) Sensitivity of voice  recording switch

. The user can adjust a threshold of voice operated 

switch by setting of value in the  “

Sensitivity of VOX

” window. The higher the chosen sen-

sitivity, the by  more quiet sounds are recognized by recorder. The recommended sensitivity 
value  is 

"average".

  Under sound resolution of 20 bits sensitivity of VOX  is  a  fixed  value 

and is not adjustable. 
 

d) To switch on/off the automatic adjustment of record level.

 After activation of this func-

tion,  loud sounds will  be weakened, and quiet, on the contrary – amplified. That will  allow 
aligning the sound level automatically. This function isn't available (is not required) at sound 
resolution of 20 bits.  
 

e)  To  set  the  fixed  strengthening  of  record  level

.  If  the  user  or the  program  have  turned 

sound  level  automatic  adjustment  off,  then  it  is  necessary  to  set  record  level  strengthening 
from the available row. The recommended values are 0 dB, +6 dB and +12 dB. This function 
isn't available (is not required) at resolution of a sound of 20 bits. 
 

f)  To  set  the  written-down  files  size.

  In  this  window  the  user  has  to  choose  the  files  size 

recorded to the  memory card  from the  following row: 50 MB, 100 MB, 250 MB, 500 MB, 
1000 MB, 1800 MB. The less the files size, the less time is required for their opening, but the 
more short-term pauses are in a sound recording when opening the new file.
