Use an open back and low side guides. Ask for missing feature positions and preferred pickup direction. Avoid enclosing the recorder or claiming any improvement to its recording performance.","steps":[{"title":"Set the view and access","detail":"Sketch the recorder at the chosen angle and mark every control and opening.

Leave the microphone and connector areas open in all directions."},{"title":"Provide easy removal","detail":"Add a broad finger opening beneath an accessible housing edge.
