Microphone installation
■
The optional HM-195 should be connected to the transceiver
using the supplied OPC-1540 connection cable.
The cable is used to operate from a longer distance. The
cable connector can also be installed as a built-in plug on a
cabinet or wall.
To operate from even longer distances, the optional 6 meter
long OPC-1541 extension cable can be used between the
transceiver and the OPC-1540. Up to two OPC-1541 can be
added.
Installation
D
Insert the OPC-1540 cable connector into the command
q
microphone jack, and tighten the nut.
To use the cable connector as a wall socket, install it as
w
described to the right.
Using the mounting base as a template, carefully mark the
e
holes where the cable and three screws will be fastened.
Drill holes at these marks.
r
Install the mounting base using the supplied screws, as
