Recording quality is poor or clipping
• Check that you have chosen the proper level with Mikey’s Sensitivity Selector for the desired
recording (refer to the chart on page eight)
• Check that your iPod’s battery is fully charged
Recording stutters or is interrupted
• Verify that you have updated your iPod to the latest firmware from Apple
Background noise & clicks appear on my Mikey recordings
• The iPod classic and iPod 5th generation use hard drives to store and access data, which
by nature can generate some audible sounds that Mikey’s sensitive microphones can
pick up. Try positioning Mikey at a 90 degree angle from the iPod to reduce this sound
source. Also note that the iPod nano series uses flash memory with no moving parts for
guaranteed silent recording!

All of my Voice Memos have been deleted from my iPod
• Once you have connected your iPod to your computer and have transferred your voice memos
into iTunes, your iPod by default will remove your recently exported memos from its
Voice
Memos menu and save them to a special playlist, which can be found by navigating on your
iPod to
Music>Playlists>Voice Memos.
Help! Mikey won’t stop talking!
• Mikey will play back anything through its external speaker, regardless of whether the headphone
jack on your iPod is plugged in or not. Simply disconnect Mikey from your iPod if you want to
hear playback only through your headphones.
