Pre-amp and phantom power

I am using a mixpre with a shotgun (AT4073A) and a wireless set-up (Senn Evo.) with either a DPA or countryman mic, which when hooked up through the wireless, does NOT need phantom power. (while the shotgun does.) My question is: since I need to turn on the phantom power on the mixpre to use the shotgun, will this in anyway adversely effect either the wireless reciever/transmitter or the mic itself? (is there any risk of damaging mic or unit?)
 
um, transmitter and lav should be fine simply because they are not wired into the chain :)

i have had wireless recievers get phantom power for long periods of time with no adverse effects(aside from draining mixer battery)

if you need to plug lavs into mixer, you do need a power adaptor that will convert p48 into the amount that makes the electrets smile
