When not in use, always keep your Stereo VideoMic Pro in a cool,
dry place, preferably in a camera bag or equivalent to protect from
dust or damage. When not in use for long periods of time, remove
the battery before storage. Do not expose the Stereo VideoMic Pro
to rain or moisture.
It is recommended that the pre-fi tted foam windshield be left on at
all times possible to protect the microphone from dust and moisture.
In instances where the microphone has become exposed to the
elements and the foam has become moist or dirty, it may be
necessary to remove the foam gently and dry it separately to
the microphone body to prevent moisture from damaging the
microphone. Take care in this operation so as not to damage or tear
the foam during removal. The foam windshield can be hand washed
in cold water, then dried thoroughly in the sun before refi tting.
Inside the Stereo VideoMic Pro box, you will fi nd a sachet of
moisture absorbent crystals. Please retain these crystals and store
with the Stereo VideoMic Pro to keep the microphone in ideal
condition.
Eventually this pack of crystals will need to be dried. This is
indicated by the crystals turning pink in colour. They can easily be
re-used by placing them in an oven at 100-150 degrees Celsius for
approximately ten minutes. The crystals will operate effectively again
once they have turned blue.
The Stereo VideoMic Pro has no internal user serviceable parts.
Should you encounter a problem, please refer all servicing to
qualifi ed service personnel.
Loud sound levels can cause serious
hearing damage.
Take care when setting the audio levels,
especially while wearing headphones.
