Optional MB-85 installation

When using the optional MB-85 (

COMBINATION BRACKET

), you

can install the control head of the IC-2720H in one of 2 meth-
ods. A 20 cm (7

⁄

″

) remote control cable is supplied for con-

nection, and connect the cable before attaching the bracket to
the main unit is recommended.
