21 TMAA02-06 Support Kit for Concealed 
and Dynamic Microphones
The concealed and dynamic microphone support board plugs onto 
the radio’s control head board and contains circuitry for a pre-
amplifier and a microphone switch circuit. The concealed electret 
microphone is installed inside the speaker grille of the 
control head.
If the radio is placed in emergency mode, the concealed 
microphone can be used to monitor activity around the radio. The 
support board is required if a dynamic microphone is used, such as 
the microphone in the TMAA10-02 handset.
The TMAA02-06 support kit is used for radios with 1-, 2- or 3-
digit display control heads. For radios with a graphical display 
control head, the TMAA02-07 kit is used (refer to “TMAA02-07 
Concealed Microphone”  on page 519).
