Controlling microphone sensitivity
The microphone sensitivity controls the softest level of sound picked
up by the microphone. The recommended level is 12.
If sensitivity changes are enabled, you can:
•
Decrease the sensitivity to reduce background noise in noisy
situations
•
Increase the sensitivity to hear very soft sounds in quiet
situations
