Safety instructions
Reading the instructions is essential to prevent the prdocut from any
damage. It helps to avoid false operation and secures successful and
long lasting use of your product.
Never use the iXm without having a Mic Head installed. It helps
to prevent damage to the mounting thread and the electronic
contacts.
When twisting the Mic Head onto the Recorder hold the head

loose.
Before you start to use the iXm charge the internal Li-Ion
battery for a minimum of 4 hrs. The Battery Indicator will stop
ashing when the Li-Ion Battery is fully charged.
Important!
When using batteries make sure you use quality AA batteries
of the same make. Make sure you discard used batteries in
compliance with environmental regulations.
Never leave batteries inside the iXm‘s battery compartment for
a long period of time. Used batteries may leak and terminate
warranty claims.
When using the wall charger make sure the international mains
adapter heads are always installed to the charger. Never use the
charger’s adapter heads separate from the charger!
