Default electret mics and phantom power

I have a Sony ECM 999pR electret mic;
Would it be safe to use this mic with a recorder that has phantom
power without damaging the mic?


If it has two XLR connectors it's probably safe to use with phantom
power. If it has a stereo phone plug or mini phone plug, you'll need
to turn off the phantom power.

What recorder do you have that has mic inputs, phantom power, and
doesn't let you turn off the phantom power? Just curious.
