make-up residues and other soiling.
fDo not use a cloth or a bristle brush to clean the micro-
phone sound inlet.
fDry the microphone for approx. 12 hours. The microphone
sound inlet has to point downwards during drying.
The cable

requirements in quality. The use of additional adhesive tapes or shrink-on tubes can dam-
age the material and reduce the service life of the cable.
