Setup Guide
1. Charging the Microphone
Before first use, ensure the microphone's built-in lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery is fully charged. Use the provided universal USB charge cable to connect the microphone to a power source. A full charge typically provides 45-50 working hours. The low power indicator will alert you when charging is needed.

2. Connecting to Your Device
The Bietrun YXM06 is compatible with smartphones, DSLR cameras, laptops, and PCs. Proper connection requires selecting the correct mode on the microphone's control unit.
- For Smartphones: Switch the microphone's mode switch to the "phone" setting.
- For DSLR Cameras, Laptops, and PCs: Switch the microphone's mode switch to the "camera" setting. For laptops/PCs, this selects the microphone input mode.
- Important Adapters: If your smartphone lacks a 3.5mm jack (e.g., USB-C or Lightning only), you must use an original phone adapter (USB-C to 3.5mm or Lightning to 3.5mm cable). These adapters are not included in the package. Failure to use an original adapter may result in no sound.
- GoPro Connection: To connect for GoPro recording, use an official GoPro adapter.

3. Attaching the Microphone
Clip the lavalier microphone to your clothing, approximately 6-8 inches from your mouth, for optimal sound capture. Ensure the microphone is not covered by clothing or other obstructions.
4. Using the Extension Cable and Windshields
The microphone comes with a 6.5-foot original cord and an additional 13-foot extension cord, providing a total length of 19.6 feet. This allows for increased movement range during recording. Use the appropriate windscreen:
- Foam Windscreen: Suitable for indoor use to reduce minor plosives and breath sounds.
- Furry Windscreen: Recommended for outdoor use to significantly reduce wind noise.

Operating Instructions
1. Omnidirectional Sound Pickup
The Bietrun YXM06 features a 360° omnidirectional sound pickup pattern, ensuring that sound is captured equally from all directions. This makes it ideal for interviews, podcasts, and any recording scenario where sound may come from multiple sources. It offers a high sensitivity of -34dB+/- 1dB and a frequency response of 20Hz~16KHz for clear audio.

2. Noise Reduction Feature
The microphone incorporates a 7-Layer Noise Reduction system with a high-quality aluminum chip and a professional sound chip. This, combined with a thicker anti-interference cable, helps reduce ambient noise. To activate noise reduction, locate the noise cancellation switch on the control unit and turn it on. This feature significantly eliminates surrounding white noise, car sounds, industrial sounds, voices, and atmospheric sounds.

The Bietrun YXM06 is equipped with a headphone jack. You can connect headphones to this jack to monitor your audio in real-time, ensuring optimal recording quality and detecting any issues during your session.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the microphone and control unit. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the microphone in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When not in use, it is recommended to store it in its original packaging or a protective pouch to prevent damage.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal wiring. Coil the cable loosely when storing.
