INSTALLING THE SPEAKER-MIC JACK
STRAIN RELIEF
When using the SMC-31, SMC-32, SMC-33, or SMC-34
options, you should install the cable tie supplied with the
transceiver to act as a strain relief for the option cable.
1 Remove the speaker-microphone jack protector cap
and the transceiver handle.
• Store the items in a safe place for use when you
remove your option.
2 Plug the option connector into the speaker-
microphone jack.
3 Wrap the cable tie around the option cable
approximately 4 to 5 cm from the option connector.
Insert the cable tie end into its clasp and pull the cable
tie end until the tie is snugly holding the option cable.
• The tie end should be pointing away from the side
of the transceiver.
4 Cut off the end of the cable tie.
• If you plan to remove the tie and re-use it again
later, do not cut the tie flush with the clasp. Leave
at least 1 or 2 cm protruding through the clasp.
• Removing the cable tie is done by inserting a wire,
such as a paper clip, into the latching tab in the
cable tie clasp while pushing the cable tie end out
of the clasp.
5 Insert the support stud on the cable tie into the handle
loop on the side of the transceiver. Press in securely.
