When conducting interviews or documenting customer service disputes, you may wish to record a cell phone conversation. While some phones have built-in voice recording features, connecting your phone to a digital recorder is an effective way to capture the entire conversation without limitations.
Instructions
1. Connect the 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter to your phone's headset jack. Such hands-free headsets often are available from your phone's manufacturer and include a microphone as well.
2. Connect the 3.5 mm patch cable to the 3.5 mm adapter. Next, plug the other end of the patch cable into your digital recorder.
3. Connect your headphones to your digital recorder. Enable the live monitoring feature on your recorder so that you can hear the cell phone conversation as it is being recorded.
4. Attach another microphone to your digital recorder. This optional step will allow you to record your end of the conversation as well. You may also be able to use the digital recorder's built-in microphone to record your conversation.
5. Press record when the call begins. Speak into your phone's receiver as normal, but listen through your digital recorder's monitored headphones.
