INFORMATION FOR THE USER
A HOW TO USE WITH AN EXTERNAL CABLE
A.a. ATTACH CABLE
A.a.
- attach cable when fishpole is extended
A.a.
- wrap the cable along the extended fishpole and secure by suitable means (e.g. adhesive band, etc.)
A.b. TELESCOPICALLY EXTEND SECTIONS
A.b.
The locking collars need to be loosened 1-2 twists before extending the sections fully.
A.b.
Do not loosen all the locking collars at once. It is better to:
A.b.
- loosen the largest locking collar first, extend the first section, tighten the locking collar =(1)
A.b.
- loosen the next largest locking collar, extend the section, tighten the locking collar =(2), =(3), =(4),
A.b. -
until you have the rod length you require
A.b.
- wrap the cable along the rod and attach the microphone to the end thread (3/8”) or clamp
A.c. RETRACT SECTIONS
A.c.
- unscrew/unclamp microphone, remove cable
A.c.
- loosen the smallest locking collar, fully retract the loose section, re-tighten the locking collar
A.c.
- loosen the next smallest locking collar, retract the section, and tighten the locking collar, etc. until
A.c. -
the fishpole is fully retracted.
B HOW TO USE WITH AN INTERNAL CABLE
- the microphone fishpole is delivered ready to use.
- the materials used for the sections together with their conical construction give max. extension
-
with min. total weight. However, the method for retracting and extending the rod is unlike that
-
of more conventional microphone fishpoles. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with
-
the functioning of the locking collars and how to extend and retract the rod. Do not attach the
-
microphone until you feel comfortable with the functioning of the fishpole.
- A cable can be run internally through the fishpole from the cable opening (not suitable for spiral
-
cables)
B.a. INSERT CABLE
B.a.
- when the fishpole is retracted
B.a.
- unscrew the base cap (5) and insert the cable into the upper hole (at
B.a. -
the microphone) and push through until it reaches the largest section
B.a. -
and can carefully be pulled through while cautiously supplying more
B.a. -
cable to the upper opening.
B.a.
- push the cable through the base section cap and then replace the cap
B.a.
- if the cable is sufficiently flexible, lead it through the slit in the side of
B.a. -
the cap, which will stop the cable (max. ø 6 mm) being flattened or
B.a. -
kinked. Fit a strain stopper or use suitable adhesive tape.
B.b. TELESCOPICALLY EXTEND SECTIONS see A.b.
B.c. RETRACT SECTIONS
B.c.
- unscrew or unclamp the microphone
B.c.
- beginning with the smallest locking collar, loosen all the locking
B.c. -
collars, one after another and retract each section about 5-10cm,
B.c. -
leave the locking collars loose
B.c.
- hold the cable at the cable opening and carefully push the base
B.c. -
section over the loosened sections until all the sections are
B.c. -
retracted. If necessary hold on to the sections.
B.c.
NOTE!
B.c.
The cable must not be squashed at the upper opening.
B.c.
- tighten the locking collars
B.c.
- roll up the cable and secure
