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
10cm/2 to 4 inches ) while recording.
•If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to get a clear recording even in DICT (dictation) mode, we
recommend that you use an ME12 Noise-Cancellation monaural microphone (sold separately. ☞P159).

While the recorder is stopped or

during recording, slide the Mic

Sense switch and select a

microphone sensitivity among

“LECTURE”, “CONF”, and “DICT”.

Every time the setting is switched, it
cycles through the display's microphone
sensitivities.
LECTURE( ): Highest recording sensitivity
suitable for conferences with large crowds
and recording audio at a distance or low
volume.
CONF( ): Suitable for recording
meetings and seminars with a small
number of people.
DICT( ): Lowest recording sensitivity
suitable for dictation.
