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.
