Note when recording

This unit is equipped with a large-diameter and high-sensitivity

microphone. Accordingly, if a breath or wind directly hits the

microphone during recording, the wind-cutting sound may be

recorded or voice may be difficult to hear.

1. This can be prevented

by blocking the wind

with your body so that

the wind does not

directly hit the unit.

2.

During dictation

recording, slightly move

this unit from front of your

mouth or keep distance.

Keep distance

Turning the “LOW CUT FILTER” (

setting to OFF enables manual adjustment of the recording level. To record the original sound volume level faithfully such as an

instrument playing and nature sound, set the microphone ALC setting to OFF. (The factory setting is “ON”.)
