you hear a click. To remove the 6-pin connector, lift up the outer sleeve

are using a lavalier microphone, correct placement is critical to sound
quality. We recommend that you place it as shown in the illustration
above—as close to your mouth as possible but off to one side (to
minimize nasality) and unobstructed by clothing. Bear in mind also that
