Notice
Dictaphone is strongly committed to creating high quality voice and data
management products that, when used in conjunction with your own company’s
security policies and practices, deliver an efficient and secure means of managing
confidential information.
Dictaphone believes that data security is best maintained by limiting access to
various types of information to authorized users only. Although no software

systems contain configurable password features that, when used properly,
provide a high degree of protection.
Please follow the guidelines for products used in conjunction with the Walkabout
Ultra recorder to ensure that the security features associated with these products
are fully utilized.
We strongly urge current owners of Dictaphone products that include optional
system password features to verify that these features are enabled! You can call
our support line, if you need assistance in setting up passwords correctly or in
verifying your existing security settings.
