4. Rekstur
4.1 Kveikt/slökkt
The PRO24CM features an on/off switch for convenient operation.
- Til að kveikja á hljóðnemanum ON, rennið rofanum í „ON“ stöðuna.
- Til að kveikja á hljóðnemanum SLÖKKT, rennið rofanum í stöðuna „SLÖKKT“.
When using plug-in power from your camcorder, the microphone will draw power directly from the camcorder, and battery operation is not required. However, it is still recommended to turn the microphone off when not in use to conserve battery life if a battery is installed.

4.2 Recording Considerations
- Staðsetning: Position the microphone to capture the desired sound source. The X-Y stereo configuration is designed to provide a natural stereo image.
- Eftirlit: Always monitor your audio through headphones connected to your camcorder to ensure optimal sound quality and to detect any unwanted noise.
- Ávinningsstig: Adjust the input gain on your camcorder to prevent clipping (distortion) while ensuring a strong signal.
5. Viðhald
- Þrif: Notið mjúkan, þurran klút til að þrífa hljóðnemann. Forðist að nota sterk efni eða slípiefni.
- Geymsla: When not in use, store the microphone in its protective pouch to prevent dust and damage. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Kapalumhirða: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the microphone cable.
6. Bilanagreining
- Ekkert hljóð:
- Ensure the microphone's on/off switch is in the "ON" position.
- Athugaðu hvort rafhlaðan sé rétt sett í og nægilega hleðst. Skiptu um hana ef þörf krefur.
- Verify the 3.5 mm plug is fully inserted into the camcorder's microphone input.
- Confirm the camcorder's audio input settings are correct and the input gain is not set to zero.
- Bjagað hljóð:
- Reduce the input gain on your camcorder.
- Ensure the microphone is not too close to the sound source, causing overload.
- Of mikill vindhávaði:
- Ensure the windscreen is properly installed.
- Consider using an additional furry wind muff for extreme conditions (not included).
