and 1536Kbps. To see which is better for you, you must run different tests
as per intended use so you can choose the one that is good enough for you.
Note: The higher the bit rate selected, the more memory space your
recordings will take and the faster will the battery drain. The battery can
last up to 24 hours in lowest bit rate mode but only up to 6 hours in highest
bit rate mode (highest recording quality).

VOS set menu: Voice Activated Mode

The factory settings for the aTTo voice recorder are as follows: voice
activated mode with a bit rate of 192 kbps, with a battery life of up to 20
hours.
To select between recording modes, you need to go in Settings and adjust
the sensitivity of the microphone in VOR level from 0 to 10.
Settin the VOR level to “0” means that the VOR is deactivated and the
device will record continuously.
To activate VOR level and thus enable voice-activated recordings, you can
adjust the VOR sensitivity from 1 to 10 depending on the intent of use (1-
the most sensitive, 10-less sensitive). Please run different tests with different
values of the VOR to see which is better for your purpose.
When in voice-activated mode, the microphone of the recorder might not
capture some slight/whispered sounds. We cannot be held responsible for
the unrecorded information or incomplete information.
