- If the microphone is placed near speakers/headphones, a high pitched noise may be heard (howling effect). This is caused by the microphone catching sound from the speakers/headphones repeatedly. In this case, place the microphone as far as possible from the speakers/headphones.
- When the microphone and the plug become dirty, wipe them with a dry cloth. Do not blow on the microphone when dusting it. A dirty plug will cause deterioration of sound quality and intermitted sound.
- Always hold the plug when disconnecting. Pulling the cord may cause it to snap.
