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 background noise is affecting your recording even in [DICT] (dictation) mode, we recommend that you either set the directional microphone ( P36) to [Zoom] or [Narrow] or use an ME12 dictation microphone (sold separately, P167). 35
