session. The recording profile presets recording parameters such
as recording quality and file format, microphone sensitivity and
the microphone mode to suit the recording conditions.  Profile,

when you begin speaking. When you stop speaking, the recorder
will automatically pause recording after three seconds of silence,

The recorder can be used for hands-free recording by con-
necting the optional Philips foot switch to the docking station.
