25-DAY STANDBY VOICE RECORDER

SKU: MQ300

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE 25-DAY STANDBY VOICE RECORDER

Please read this manual before operating the 25-day standby voice recorder and keep it handy.

This voice activated USB recorder is an upgrade from the VAUSB. This newer model features the same 4GB of internal storage, but can now hold up 144 hours of audio. You can hang it on a lanyard or slip into a pocket for discreet recording at the office or school, or to covertly record voice as a secret shopper, investigator, or to simply record notes and interviews.

The flash drive needs no cables or batteries, making perfect for the covert operative on the go. Recording is as simple as a touch of the button. Choose from straight normal recording or voice activation. The voice activation feature allows you to avoid long hours of silent recording and save battery life. This unit can be on standby for up to 25 days, waiting to pick up any voices there may be.

Your purchase should include: 1 x Voice Recorder 1 x Instruction Booklet
