Enabling phantom power

To enable phantom power, flip the phantom power switch up, then turn the notched dial to the right to select yes and press the enter button to confirm.

CAUTION

  • When recording or in recording standby, the MENU screen will not open.
  • The settings for all menu items are retained even when the unit is turned off (in standby).
  • When the unit asks you for confirmation, you will always land on the 'no' option first and will have to move the dial one notch to the right to select 'yes'.
  • When you power down the unit with the phantom power switch flipped to on, the next time you boot it up it will ask you if you want to enable phantom power again. Simply select yes or no as desired, or alternatively, flip down the switch to get rid of that dialog box.
