Now press REC. You will see VOR on the screen which means voice activated recording function is set.
10)How to Use the AVR Mode (Voice Activated
Function) When AVR mode is selected, the device will only pick up a loud enough decibel sound or voice. Adjust the voice activated sensitivity in record setting. Select the AVR level to get the best effect for voice
activated recording. For the L157 voice recorder, the AVR level can be selected from 1 -5. The lower number requires a higher decibel voice to activate the recorder. In other words, a louder voice. At level 5, the recorder is very sensitive and will pick up quiet speaking.
Note: When the voice activated function is ON, press REC. Device will record 3 seconds to check if the recorder is correctly entered into recording mode. It will only pick up loud enough decibels of voice /
sound
(11) Recorder Not Recording
Check to see if the recording light is blinking. Additionally, see if VOR is on the screen. If VOR is on the screen and light is blinking, it means the voice activated function is ON. During this setting,
it will only record when a high enough decibel sound is detected. You may go to Record Setting, find AVR sensitivity, and adjust. Turn off the AVR mode if this function is not needed

Recording This happens when the sleeper time function is ON. When operating the device, or recording, or playing music/recordings, the sleep timer function will force a shut down on the device.
Go to System setting – > sleeper time. Select OFF and confirm. This closes the sleep time function. You can also try to restore the recorder to factory settings when this happens if you’re not sure how to set
the sleep time.
(16) Cannot Shut Off My Voice Recorder

(18) Space is full
When the storage space is full, connect to a computer, copy recordings, and save them to the computer. Delete all the recordings from the voice recorder. The voice recorder has a limited storage at 8GB or 16GB. After a while of using, the recorder may be full and needs to be backed up onto a computer. Note: Do not cut off recordings from recorder to computer. This will cause an unsuccessful transfer, and the files cannot be deleted from the recorder successfully
