Note

:

 The LED indicator glows red to indicate clipping. If you see the LED indicator turn red, do 

one or both of the following

:

• 

Move the microphone further away from the sound source.

• 

Turn down the microphone input level by following the procedures in step 4 on page 17.

For best results, it’s recommended to always do a test recording.

To mute the microphone, press the mute button. The LED will glow a constant amber.

Note

:

 The mute button mutes both the microphone and the headphones. You will not be able 

to listen to playback when the mute button is engaged.

Tip

:

 To avoid an accidental burst of high volume, make sure to turn the headphone volume 

down before plugging in your headphones.
