Gesture & etiquette
Pause briefly before asking to signal you've been thinking carefully; make eye contact with the person who gave the instruction; note the confirmation in writing to prevent repeat misunderstandings.
Asking for confirmation before acting ('確認させてください') is standard professional practice in Japan — acting on a misunderstood instruction and having to correct course is considered a bigger failure than asking for clarification upfront; this phrase signals diligence, not confusion.
