about 2,000 hours.

To avoid damage to the unit from leakage and corrosion;
• Be sure to match the + and - on the battery with the same marks on the battery
compartment.
• Do not try to recharge battery.
• Remove the battery if the microphone is not to be used for a long period of time.
In case of battery leakage, wipe off any deposit in the battery compartment before
installing a new battery.
