Recording with Another Device

Place your phone near the recording device. This will ensure that the recording device picks up the clearest sound from your phone.
Stop the recording once the call has ended.
Save the recording. You can send it to your phone if you want to keep it there for recordkeeping, or you can keep it on the recording device if you so choose.
