Keith, this is what I found, and hope some of it will help you.

You can use the audio recorder with either the internal microphone, or an external microphone plugged into the port on the left side of the unit. The internal microphone is positioned inside the top left hand corner of the unit. It has an effective range of about 30cm (1 foot).

To let the Recorder know which microphone you are going to be using, you can specify it in the Recording options set up list, as discussed in 16.4.2 Setting up the Audio Recorder. Bear in mind that the internal microphone is the factory default and therefore if you have never used nor do not intend to use, an external microphone, there is no need to do this.

It may be necessary before recording to adjust the recording levels, depending on factors such as the usual volume of your voice, the default settings may be too high or low. These are discussed in 16.4.3 Adjusting Recording levels.


16.4.1.1 External Microphone.

Your unit can record using an external microphone. The kind of external microphone that will work with it is a low-voltage "electret" type. Electret microphones are distinct from "dynamic" microphones, and are readily available.

Just a quick note on external microphones - any damage to the microphone's lead, no matter how slight, can result in a noticeable loss of sound quality. Likewise the use of extension leads between the microphone and the socket.

Warmest Regards,
