TMAA10-04 Hands-Free Kit
The TMAA10-04 hands-free kit plugs into the radio’s
auxiliary connector and can be used in conjunction with
the radio’s rugged microphone. When hands-free
operation is required, the user activates the PTT using the
conveniently located remote PTT key, and the remote
electret microphone replaces communication through the
usual rugged microphone.
An extension lead is provided for the remote PTT and
there are three mounting options for the remote
microphone.
Note that the hands-free kit does not provide
hookswitch operation. If this is required, the rugged
microphone can provide this.
Important
The radio does not meet the IP54 protection standard once
a hands-free kit has been installed.

Installation
Important
Care should be taken to avoid routing any cables near vehicle
pedal controls, steering column and other moving parts.
9.1.1
Installing the Microphone
1.
Choose one of the three mounting options provided for the remote
microphone and determine the most appropriate location for the
microphone.
The mounting position of the microphone should be no more than
50cm (20 inches) from the user’s mouth.
2.
Route the remote microphone cable so as not to distract the driver.
3.
Mount the remote microphone in the chosen location and check
that the microphone and cable are clear of all the usual movements
performed by the user.
