Thank you for purchasing TOA's Gooseneck Microphone. Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in electric shock.

• (When attached to the ST-800) Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Do not lay the connection cable where it can be walked on or tripped over, causing personal injury.

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 cable, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets 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.

• Neither bend the gooseneck more than 90° in any direction nor rotate it, as this could lead to microphone failures.

• (When attached to the ST-800) Do not pick up the microphone stand by the microphone, as this could lead to failure.
