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 rub-

ber boot. While pressing on this spot,

gently pull the connector 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-

818 transceiver.



Refer to the illustration, and connect the

shoulder strap to the attachment tabs just

behind the front panel of the FT-818. Be

sure to have the shoulder strap aligned

correctly, without twists in the straps.



A convenient microphone hanger is locat-

ed on one end of the padded top section 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-818, for ease of use when operating from a

base station or camp table.

Refer to the illustration, and afx the Rubber Feet

in the appropriate locations.
