4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure to turn off the phantom power switch on
the equipment that the unit is connected to before
connecting or disconnecting the unit. As doing
otherwise may cause loud noise or damage to the
unit or connected equipment.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations, in
locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the heaters,
or in locations generating sooty smoke or steam as doing
otherwise may result in unit failure.
• Take care not to drop the unit onto the floor nor
bump it against a hard object as the unit could fail.
• Avoid using a mobile telephone near the microphone
in use. Noise could be picked up.
• To clean, be sure to first disconnect the connection

very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser.
Never use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or chemically-
treated cleaning cloth because such volatile liquids
could deform or discolor the unit.
