Before recording, make sure that the surface of the microphone with the (power) button faces to the sound source. Adjust the recording volume level by turning the AUDIO LEVEL dial while monitoring the indicator lamps, or adjust the distance between the audio source and the microphone. In the event that sounds are picked at the normal volume level: Adjust the recording volume level so that none of the indicator lamps would light in orange. In the event that sounds are picked at an extremely loud volume level: Adjust the recording volume level so that the top indicator lamp would not light in red. Note When you are finished with using the receiver and the microphone, select "OFF" with the slide switch on the receiver and press and hold the (power) button on the microphone for about 2 seconds to turn off this unit. Depending on the using condition, an analog connection with this unit may cause noises to be included in audio recordings. To use a camera compatible with the digital audio interface of the Multi Interface Shoe or a device with a USB audio input capability, make a digital connection with this unit. When a radio device is nearby, keep this unit sufficiently away from the device. While video recording is in progress, operating the filter switch, the directivity selection switch, or the AUDIO LEVEL dial on the microphone may cause operation sounds to be included in the recording. Before changing the switch/dial settings, be sure to stop the recording. When a video recording is made with this unit, an operation sound (an electronic sound) may be included at the beginning of the recording. It is recommended that you disable the operation sound settings on your camera before making video recordings. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your camera. The receiver receives power supply from the camera as well. (The built-in battery of the receiver, however, is not charged with the supplied power.) Depending on your camera, however, it may not be capable of supplying power.
