Istruzioni per l'uso

The SoundBird T3 features illuminated buttons for various audio adjustments:

  • Pulsante On/Off: Press to power the microphone on or off. The illumination indicates power status and battery level.
    • Verde: Sufficient battery/Phantom power.
    • Giallo: Batteria scarica.
