Handheld dictation devices

  1. If using a handheld dictation device, place it in the palm of your hand with your thumb on the 4-position switch and your index finger across the trigger underneath the device.

  2. When dictating, hold the device approximately 4-6 inches from your mouth.

  3. Pause slightly before speaking when starting your recorder and pause briefly before stopping recording. This prevents words from being "clipped."

  4. Release the RECORD button when pausing to avoid picking up external noise.
