Some things to keep in mind: Don't expose the microphone to extremely high temperatures or strong chemicals. Although it's IP57 - rated for dust and water resistance, don't submerge it for too long. And make sure to check the cable regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
For maintenance, you can clean the microphone with a soft, dry cloth. If you've painted the cable, avoid using harsh cleaning agents that might damage the paint. After use, store it in the provided case to protect it from dust and physical damage.
