To connect the microphone, plug its
connector (latch side UP) into the
MIC
jack on the right side of the
transceiver. Press it gently inward
until you hear the “click” of the
latch.
To disconnect the microphone, press
gently on the “
PUSH
” label on
top of the microphone connector’s rubber boot. While pressing on this spot, gently
pull the connector outward from the body of the transceiver.
Note
: During “Digital” or “Packet” operation, it is not necessary to disconnect the micro-
phone, as activation of the PTT line from the
DATA
connector automatically cuts off the
audio input from the
MIC
jack.
