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
