MICROPHONE CONNECTIONS
A high-impedance microphone equipped with a push-tetalk
witch should be used with the Transceiver
so
either the PTT
or VOX methods may be used to turn on the Transmitter.
A
two-pin microphone connector (Amphenol 80MC2M) is
furnished for this purpose. It should

It
is strongly
recommended that each of the wires from the battery to the
Transceiver be permanently tagged or otherwise marked as
to polarity at the battery end, to
minimize the possiblity of
transistor damage if the wires
should ever be disconnected.
If the frequency display should fail to light when the
Transceiver is turned on, turn
it
off quickly and check for
proper polarity of the power cable.
