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

• 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
