faster.

• In case of diffi

cult acoustic conditions or low speaker’s voice, recording in [HQ] is recommended.

Also, usage of an external microphone (sold separately) could improve the quality of
recordings.

The external microphone and other devices can be connected
and the sound can be recorded.
• When using an ex ternal microphone, selec t adequate

microphone, such as a Noise-Cancellation microphone or
Electret condenser microphone (optional).

• To connect the recorder to an external device, use the

connecting cord KA333 (optional), and the stereo/monaural
