7. Mounting the microphone to your clothing
Attach the microphone to the front of your clothing with the clothing
clip, about 20 – 25 cm (8 – 10 inches) from your mouth.
1) You can attach the microphone upside down to reduce excessive
breathing noises and tonal inconsistencies due to head movements,
if necessary.
2) It is recommended to use the foam wind screen at all times to avoid
wind noise, even when recording inside.
8. Battery power
Rotate the control unit’s top end anticlockwise until it comes off. Now
remove the plastic isolator sheet inside to connect the battery and to
get the microphone ready for recording.
For storage, it is recommended to put the plastic isolator sheet back in
to prevent the battery from self-draining over time.

You don't need to install the battery when using this microphone

view partner (see previous instructions).
2 Move the switch on the control unit to „Smartphone“.
3 Plug the 3.5 mm connector into the audio jack of your smartphone.

9.1. Using the microphone with a Camera
1 Install the battery with correct polarities.
2 Attach the microphone to your clothing or to that of your interview

3 Move the switch on the control unit to „Camera“.
4 Plug the 3.5 mm connector into the audio input jack of your DSLR,
compact camera or camcorder, and begin filming.

that you are using the correct one.
