For first-time operation, open the battery compartment and insert the
supplied round cell battery in accordance with the polarity indicated
in the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment.
Next, mount the microphone on your camera’s hot shoe by loosening
the clamping screw on the adapter, sliding on the microphone and
then fastening the clamping screw so that the microphone is moun-
ted firmly on the camera.
Now connect the microphone to your camera’s microphone input
using the 3.5 mm TRS jack. Switch on the microphone using the pow-
er switch

and check on the camera whether the sensitivity of the
microphone needs to be adjusted: Set the sensitivity switch
(2)
to the
desired position as required.
If necessary, activate the high-pass filter

on the microphone to re-
duce low-frequency interfering signals below 80 Hz by 10 dB/octave.
Once you have finish recording, set the power switch

Instructions for Operation and Storage
1)
The microphone is especially sensitive to mechanical influences
such as impacts or falls from a great height and may su
ff
er
irreparable damage as a result. It is therefore important to be
extra careful when handling it and to always check it is fitted
securely to the adapter on the camera.
2)
Store the microphone in a clean, dry location. To prevent an ad-
verse e
ff
ect on the microphone’s sensitivity and tone color, do not
store it in locations subject to high humidity or near a strong
magnetic field.
3)
In order to conserve the internal battery power, please switch o
ff
the microphone after use. If the battery status indicator displays
a low capacity, you must replace the internal battery as soon as
possible.
4)
Remove the battery from the battery compartment before storing
the microphone for an extended period in order to prevent any
possible damage to the circuitry from battery leakage.
