INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE

To connect the microphone, plug its connector (latch side UP) into the MIC jack on the
right side of the transceiver. Press it
gently inward until you hear the
“click” of the latch.

To disconnect the microphone, press
gently on the “PUSH ” label on
top of the microphone connector’s rubber boot.
While pressing on this spot, gently pull the con-
nector outward from the body of the transceiver.
Note: During “Digital” or “Packet” operation, it is not necessary to disconnect the micro-
phone, as activation of the PTT line from the DATA connector automatically cuts off the
audio input from the MIC jack.
SHOULDER STRAP INSTALLATION
The convenient Shoulder Strap is designed for maximum comfort and security for your FT-
817ND transceiver.

Refer to the illustration, and connect the
shoulder strap to the attachment tabs just
behind the front panel of the FT-817ND.
Be sure to have the shoulder strap aligned
correctly, without twists in the straps.

A convenient microphone hanger is lo-
cated on one end of the padded top sec-
tion of the Shoulder Strap. When not in
use, the microphone may be affixed here,
freeing both of your hands for other tasks.
RUBBER FOOT INSTALLATION
Four Rubber Feet are provided with your FT-
817ND, for ease of use when operating from a
base station or camp table.
Refer to the illustration, and affix the Rubber
Feet in the appropriate locations.
