Care of Your Microphone
Your microphone is shipped attached to a headband and ready for use. The microphone is fully waterproof, and
may be fully immersed, but it will not fl oat on its own. Unless it is attached to a Cox-Box, the microphone will sink.
Microphones should be treated with care.
• Do not attempt to bend the aluminum boom or twist the mouthpiece.
• Do not drop the microphone.
• Do not yank or pull on the microphone cable when disconnecting from the Cox-Box.
• Do not carry the Cox-Box by the microphone.
CARING FOR YOUR COX-BOX SYSTEM
Nielsen-Kellerman equipment is designed, built and tested to withstand the rigors of everyday use, but it is
not
invincible and it can be damaged. The following information is intended to help you maintain your equipment and
prevent unnecessary repairs.
Charging
• Place the unit on charge whenever it is not in use,.
• If the low battery sign comes on, be sure to charge the unit for at least 9 hours.
• Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery should last at least 4 hours. If your unit is not providing this much
operational time, it may be time to return it to NK to have new batteries installed. We expect our batteries to need
replacement after three years of normal full-season use.
• Have the batteries exceeded their lifespan? A Cox-Box Battery is expected to provide 3 years of normal use (daily
practices for approximately six to nine months of the year).
NOTE: NK NO LONGER REPAIRS CHARGERS!
If you wish to repair a charger plug, you may obtain pins and instructions from NK. However, for most
people, the most cost- and time-effective approach is simply replacement.
