Connecting The Microphone; Shoulder Strap Installation - Yaesu FT-817 Operating Manual

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
top of the microphone connector's
rubber boot. While pressing on this
spot, gently pull the connector out-
ward 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.
The convenient Shoulder Strap is designed for maximum comfort and security for your FT-
817 transceiver.
Refer to the illustration, and connect the shoulder strap to the attachment tabs just behind
the front panel of the FT-817. Be sure to have the shoulder strap aligned correctly,
without twists in the straps.
A convenient microphone hanger is located 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.
