Charging the Transmitters and Receiver Directly

It is recommended to use a charging brick with 5 V/1 A specifications to charge the transmitters and receiver via the DJI Mic USB-C Splitter Charging Cable. It takes about 70 minutes to fully charge the transmitters and receiver.

The DJI Mic 2 charging case holds two transmitters with clip magnets, two mobile device adapters, and a receiver. The mobile device adapter can also be attached on the receiver and placed together.

When new firmware is available, update the firmware by connecting the transmitters and the receiver to the computer one at a time.

1. Download the firmware from the product page.

2. Connect a transmitter or the receiver to the computer using the USB-C cable provided. The receiver needs to be off, while the transmitter can be on or off.

3. Place the downloaded firmware update package .bin file under the root directories of the transmitter or receiver.

4. After disconnecting from the computer, the receiver will start upgrading automatically. The transmitter needs to be powered on to start upgrading automatically. The System Status LED will blink red and green alternately during the process.

5. Once the upgrade is complete, check the firmware version on the receiver to confirm it was successful.

If the firmware update fails, download the firmware again, restart the device, and repeat the steps.

If the transmitter’s firmware does not automatically update after powering on, disable Auto Record on the receiver touchscreen after connecting the transmitter to the receiver.

The DJI Mic 2 transmitter has a 3.5mm TRS input for DJI Lavalier Mics. Insert the 3.5mm plug of the lavalier mic into the input port. The transmitter’s built-in microphone will be unavailable, and the lavalier mic will be used as the audio input.

When attaching the lavalier mic, clip it to the collar or front of the shirt, ensuring the top of the mic is 15-20 cm away from the mouth. It’s recommended to secure the cable inside clothing to keep it in place.

– The lavalier mic can be rotated 360°, allowing for flexible positioning of the collar clip.

– The windscreen of the lavalier mic can be removed to make the mic less visually noticeable.
