Installing Batteries

This microphone requires one AA battery to operate (Alkaline, NiMH, or Lithium). To install:

Squeeze the door latches and pull the battery compartment open.

Insert the battery into the holder according to the polarity indicator and secure it into place.

Close the compartment by pushing the holder back in until it latches.

Low Battery LED: 

When the battery is running low, the LED turns red and the battery should be replaced as soon as possible. 

See the battery life table in the user guide to determine remaining runtime after the LED turns red.

Audio Configuration

 Connect to the camera 

or recording device

Plug the attached coiled cable into the camera's audio input. Alternatively, the microphone 

can be plugged into a field recorder or other external device. It may be connected to both a 

camera and a recorder by using a Y-splitter cable.

 Lower the camera's gain 

(input volume) to the mini-

mum setting

Using the least amount of gain from the camera or recording device and more gain from the 

VP83 will result in a better signal-to-noise ratio.
