Notes
When the speaker's voice is to be recorded clearly, set it to DICT (dictation) mode. If breath directly hits
the microphone it will be noisy, so keep the microphone a little lower than the speaker's mouth (5 to
10cm/2 to 4 inches) while recording.
If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to get a clear recording even in DICT (dictation) mode, we
recommend that you use an ME12 Noise-Cancellation monaural microphone. (sold separately.
