Hi Sharon and list: I may be mistaken on this, so if anyone else has a better memory, please feel free to correct me. When I first got my bookport over two years ago, there was no beep at the beginning of the recording. Is that the beep you are getting? I now do have such a beep. I believe it was added in version 2.0 of the firmware.

When I record a memo on the bp there is a small beep in the recording. Another friend of mine doesn't have that problem. How can I get the beep to go away?

I have examined the Book Port case and do not find where the Book Port microphone is located. Can someone tell me where the microphone is located? Or can you tell me if there is a specific position to hold the Book Port when trying to make a memo note?
