IMPORTANT FOR USERS OF PHANTOM POWER

The TR-50 is available with a variety of connectors (Micro-Mini, 4,6 or 8 pin Lemo, 
Mini Switchcraft, Sony, Sennheiser etc.) for direct attachment to any wireless 
microphone transmitter. The TR-79 power supply provides a balanced transformer 
output to an XLR connector and uses an Eveready 357 battery. The battery 
compartment is designed to permit only one insertion direction, so the polarity 
cannot be reversed. This compartment is accessible by turning the black plastic end 
cap counter clockwise and pulling firmly. The battery is removed by pushng it out 
with a sharp object through the hole provided in the bottom of the compartment. 
The battery should be removed when the microphone is not used for 
extended periods of time.
