Using the Voice Recorder

transmit audio of this unit is recorded on the MicroSD memory card. The recorded file
can be played back with the

or the MicroSD memory card can be taken
out and used on a PC. Once recording is started, it continues until recording is stopped,
or the capacity of the MicroSD card is full.
