25.1.3 Removing the Control Head from the Radio Body (if necessary)
Caution During this procedure, take care that the control-
head seal is not damaged. Damage to this seal 
reduces environmental protection.
1. On the underside of the radio, 
insert a 5mm (3/16 inch) flat-
bladed screwdriver between the 
control head and the control-head 
seal, in the positions shown.
Insertion points and are lever 
points and are indicated on the 
radio chassis by a dot-dash-dot pattern (

).
2. Use the screwdriver to lift the control head off the chassis clip, then 
repeat in the other position.
3. Unplug the control-head loom from the radio body. 
The control head is now separate from the radio body.
25.1.4 Installing the Torso Interface
The torso interface must be installed onto the radio body, in place of the 
control head.
1. Screw the solder tag 
1) 
onto one of the screw bosses on the 
radio chassis.
2. Plug the torso-interface loom
j 
onto the control-head connector.
3. Insert the bottom edge of the 
torso interface 
b 
onto the two 
clips in the front of the radio 
chassis, then snap into place.
4. Remove the bung 
h 
covering 
the outer RJ45 connector. The 
remote cable 
e 
will plug into this 
connector once the installation is complete.
Important The inner RJ45 cavity is not used and has no connector 
installed so the RJ45-cavity bung must be installed at 
all times.
This ensures that the torso interface is sealed against water, 
dust and other environmental hazards.
