Inserting/replacing the battery
If the battery voltage is sufficient, the “batt” LED 쐋 flashes briefly when you
switch on the microphone. A new, unused battery has an operating time of
approx. 300 hours.
When the battery voltage decreases, the “batt” LED 쐋 lights up
permanently. You should replace the battery. When the “batt” LED쐋 lights
up permanently for the first time, the remaining operating time is approx. 50
hours.
Note: When not using the microphone for extended periods of time,
remove the battery from the battery compartment!
To insert or replace the battery:
왘 Push the catch of the battery compartment 쐆 in
the direction of the flashmount adapter and open
the battery compartment.
왘 Insert the AAA size battery as shown in the
diagram on the right. Observe correct polarity
when inserting the battery.
왘 Close the battery compartment until the catch 쐆
locks into place.
Puting the microphone into operation
왘 Slide the microphone onto the video camera’s flashmount and lock the
microphone by screwing down the knurled washer 쐂.
왘 Insert the 3.5 mm stereo jack plug into the microphone input socket of the
video camera.

is operational.
Note: When you have finished using the microphone, it is
vital that you switch it off by setting the “on/off”
switch 쐏 to the “off” position!
왘 Adjust the microphone senstivity to the volume of the sound source and
to the input sensitivity of the camera/camcorder by setting the “vol”
switch 쐇 to the correct position:
“on/off” Setting
switched on
(linear frequency response)
switched on
(low-cut filter is activated for minimizing wind noise)
“vol” Setting
Normal sensitvity:
for normal or very loud sound sources and cameras/
camcorders with high input sensitivity
High sensitvity:
for extremely quiet or very distant sound sources and
cameras/camcorders with low input sensitivity
