When using with cameras that provide plug-in power, ensure the mic switch is ON to enable the internal battery.
-
For smartphone or PC usage, switch to OFF/Smartphone Mode—the device’s own power will suffice.

Some users report issues with quiet audio levels or interference, especially on laptops—this may require a TRRS-to-TRS adapter or checking for grounding issues.
“LR44 cell batteries die fast”—it might be worth changing the battery if performance drops.
