How to deal with interrupted wireless connection
In case the wireless connection between dictation microphone and
docking station becomes interrupted, a bar appears in the upper
part of the display that turns orange with increasing talk time. The
text is then stored in the dictation microphone. A signal sounds in
intervals of a few seconds, warning of a buffer overflow.
NOTICE
