Recording Modes

Microphone
Sensitivity

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet
recording needs.

Using the MICSENS switch, choose
between the CONF and DICT positions.

CONF :

High-sensitivity mode that records
sounds in all directions.

DICT :

Low-sensitivity mode suited for
dictation.

Notes

• If you want to clearly record dictation, switch to DICT mode

and place the internal microphone close (5 to 10 cm) to the
speaker.

• If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to get a clear

recording even in DICT mode, we recommend that you use
an ME-12 single directional microphone (sold separately).
