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 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).
While the recorder is stopped or
during recording, slide the Mic
Sense switch and select a
microphone sensitivity among
[LECTURE], [CONF], and [DICT].
Every time the setting is switched, it
cycles through the display’s microphone
sensitivities.
