22 OSRAM LED-STIXX Lamp not working Neighbors hearing me The unit seems unstable and may fall The included Flex- Mount does not fit my microphone I'm missing a part 1. AAA batteries need to be changed. 1. The unit is not height adjusted properly. 2. You have unusually thin walls. 1. The floor stand is not set up properly. 2. You have mounted the base plate in the wrong direction. 3. You have set the height over the acceptable and recommended limit = 178 cm (70 in) and/or not extended the tripod feet to their minimum. The required radius is 60 cm (24 in). 1. You have not squeezed enough. 2. My microphone falls out of the arms of the Flex Mount Unscrew the white end at the opposite side of the on/off switch. Pull out the battery holder in the same direction as the on/off switch. Replace the batteries. Make sure to recycle your old batteries, and keep them away from children. See the included manual from OSRAM for further details. 1. Adjust the height so that there is some room for your shoulders, but not too much. 2. Place the ISOVOX 2 as far as possible from your closest neighbor. 1. See the floor-stand manual supplied by the manufacturer. Usually when it s unstable, it s because the feet are not fully extended. 2. Check if you have mounted the base plate D in the right direction. See Installation of the product. 3. Lower the height to stabilize. 1. Carefully squeeze the arms of the Flex Mount 2 onto the body of your microphone. It will flex and adapt to the diameter of your microphone. 2. If the microphone falls out of the Flex Mount then it is too small or too big. Please use your own shock mount instead or buy an OnStage MY330, which will usually work well with larger microphones.
