removing the radio
Fitting the microphone
the microphone uses an 8 pin plug and socket. 
to fit the microphone:
1. Position the microphone plug so the plastic tab faces
downwards, and press the plug into the socket until 
it ‘clicks’.
. Gently slide the rubber strain relief towards the
hole surrounding the socket until it is flush with 
the front panel.
removing the microphone
1. slide the strain relief back along the microphone cord.
. squeeze the plastic tab on the microphone plug towards
the plug to unlock it while gently pulling the plug 
outwards. if the plug does not come out easily, the 
tab has not released correctly and should be 
squeezed again.
