Precautions
The supplied extension cord can be
used with this microphone only, and
cannot be used with any other
devices (stereo microphone, etc.).
This microphone is a precision
instrument. Never disassemble it.
Do not expose the microphone to a
mechanical shock such as by
dropping or striking it.
If the microphone is placed near
speakers/headphones, a high pitched
noise may be heard (howling effect).
This is caused by the microphone
catching sound from the speakers/
headphones repeatedly. In this case,
place the microphone as far as
possible from the speakers/
headphones.
Do not leave the microphone in a
humid, dusty or hot place, or under
direct sunlight. This may cause a
malfunction.
When using outdoors, never let the
microphone become wet with rain
or saltwater.
When the microphone and the plug
become dirty, wipe them with a dry
cloth. Do not blow on the
microphone when dusting it. A dirty
plug will cause deterioration of
sound quality and intermitted
sound.
Always hold the plug when
disconnecting. Pulling the cord may
cause it to snap.
