'Unless' dual meaning
During our English reading exam I answered one of the questions wrong. The question was based on this sentence; ...unless your mic is attached to you, remember not to move around, otherwise your voice will be lost. which of the following is true:
When you have a mic attached to you, you
A) shouldn't move around
B)can move around
And two other choices I chose A since I concluded form the passage that it's explaining the condition when you have a mic attached to you and other possible conditions have been explained before unless...
But it turned out I was wrong.
I need to know whether this sentence has both meanings or not.

AnonymousI need to know whether this sentence has both meanings or not.I doubt it. Common sense says you can move around if the mic is attached, i.e., moving around with you.
