Tip: 

For conferences, to obtain

optimum recording quality, place
the recorder with the microphone
freely exposed to the sound source
as close as convenient. A built-in
automatic recording level control

during manual recording. Avoid
recording near unwanted noise
sources, such as air conditioners or
fans.
