Care Instructions
• When not in use, always keep your microphone in a cool,
dry place, preferably in the supplied zip case, to protect
from dust or damage. Do not expose the Reporter to rain
or moisture.
• In instances where the microphone has become exposed
to the elements and the mesh head (wind cover) has
become wet or dirty, it may be necessary to remove the
head gently and dry it separately to the microphone body
to prevent moisture from damaging the microphone
capsule. Take care in this operation so as not to damage
the microphone during removal.
• Inside the Reporter box, you will fi nd a sachet of moisture
absorbent crystals. Please retain these crystals and store
with the microphone 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 Reporter 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.
