8.11 Selecting the recording mode
is voice recorder can record dictations with three varying sampling rates. e
higher the sampling rate, the better the quality of the dictation recording; however,
at the same time, the requirement for memory space for dictation recording rises
accordingly.
Selection can be made from three sampling rates for dictations recordings:
»HP« – highest quality level, dictations require a lot of memory space
Ú
»SP« – standard quality level; optimal compromise between the demands on
Ú
quality and memory space
»LP« – lowest quality level; dictations require very little memory space; recom-
Ú
mended for very long dictations
From the factory, »SP« is set as the sampling rate. To change the setting of the sampling rate:
