4. You can directly adjust the microphone sensitivity for Internet calls (option “Yes”) and conventional telephony (parameter “micro”), let's use the latter.
5. Sensitivity adjustment is enabled separately for each volume level, need “Level 6”..

   Then specify the value – put the maximum (in our example 255) not recommended, it is important to highlight enter an indicator to start 64.
