5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GRENARO J13 microphone, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the microphone and charging case clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe surfaces.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Store the microphone in its charging case when not in use to protect it from dust and physical damage.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself, as this will void the warranty.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Connection Issues (Android)

Problem: The microphone does not connect or is not recognized by an Android device.

Solution: Ensure that the OTG (On-The-Go) feature is enabled in your Android device's settings. Some models require manual activation. Refer to your phone's manual for specific instructions on enabling OTG.

6.2 Default Camera App Not Working

Problem: The microphone is connected, but the default camera app on your smartphone does not record audio from it.

Solution: Many default camera applications do not support external wireless microphones. Download a third-party camera application like "Open Camera" from your device's app store. After installation, go to the app's settings, find "Video Settings," then "Audio Source," and select "External mic (if present)".

6.3 Poor Audio Quality / Excessive Noise

Problem: Recorded audio has background noise or is unclear.

Solution: Adjust the noise reduction level on the microphone transmitter according to your environment. For very noisy settings, use Level 3. Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly and not obstructed. Avoid recording in areas with strong electromagnetic interference.
