PRECAUTIONS AND NOTES:

● The characteristics of the microphone will change if it is
dropped or subjected to shock or excessive force from
hitting it.

● During operation tests, please do not blow on the
microphone or hit it. Just talk normally into the
microphone.

● Precise parts are carefully arranged inside the microphone
for optimum use, but these characteristics can not be
retained if it is opened and disassembled. Please consult
your nearest JVC dealer or contact a service center for
repairs or maintenance.

● Please do not leave it near a heat source such as a stove,
direct sunlight, or in a car with all windows closed where
the temperature gets extremely hot. Direct exposure to a
camera light will damage the microphone, causing its
color to change and its body to deform.

● Avoid using the microphone in places where it is
extremely humid, such as in a bathroom, or in areas
subject to oily smoke and vapor, such as near a range, as
this will cause it to malfunction.
