Hi Al,
Your MKE 300 is working correctly.
On the Sennheiser MKE 300 mike as well as the ME/K6 series mics when used
on internal battery, the LED only winks when the power switch is turned on
which is how it is designed to work and then the LED goes out while you are
using the microphone. Supposedly how bright the wink is, is an indication
of how strong the battery level is.
I have an MKE 300 and its battery lasts for months of use as long as you
remember to turn it off when its not actually being used. With three fresh
batteries, you will not need any for quite a while.
