If you're using external microphones, connect them to the XLR inputs and adjust the gain controls for each input. The limiter and low - cut filter can help you control the audio quality. To output audio to your camera, use the CAMERA OUT jack. When it comes to power, you can use AA batteries, an AC adapter, or USB bus power. For longer use, consider getting the BP - 6AA external battery pack. Make sure to handle the device gently, as the rubber transport and SLATE buttons are there to prevent handling noise. Keep the screen protected with the side handles. For maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. When transferring files to your computer, use the provided Micro - B USB cable and the high - speed USB 2.0 connection. Remember to regularly check the battery levels to avoid interruptions during recording.
