Maintenance
•
The transceiver is specifically designed for the environment encountered in mobile
installations. The use of all solid-state circuitry and its light weight result in high reliability.
Should a failure occur, however, replace parts only with identical parts. Do not substitute.
NOTE
If the performance described in the operation sections is not obtained,
review the installation instructions to insure that proper procedures were
followed. If a problem still exists, refer to the product service section on page 23.
Government Regulatory Information

Alternate Microphones and Installation

For best results, the user should select a low-impedance dynamic type microphone
or a transistorized microphone. Transistorized-type microphones have a low output
impedance characteristic. The microphone must be provided with a four-lead cable.
The audio conductor and its shielded lead comprise two of the leads. The third lead
is for receive control, the fourth is for transmit control.
The microphone should provide the functions shown in the schematic below.

If the microphone to be used is provided with pre-cut leads,
they must be revised as follows.
1.
Cut leads so that they extend

jacket of the microphone cable (see Fig. 2).
2.
All leads should be cut to the same length. Strip the ends of each wire

and tin the exposed wire.
Before beginning the actual wiring, read carefully the circuit and wiring
information provided with the microphone you select. Use the minimum
heat required in soldering the connections. Keep the exposed wire lengths
to a minimum to avoid shorting when the microphone plug is reassembled.
