Using the external speaker/mic jack

You can connect an optional external speaker-mic to this

watertight jack. Unscrew the cap, which is held by the rubber

cap-keeper to prevent loss. Insert the special gasketed plug

and screw down the shell, which assures prevention of water

entering the jack. Two available units are

HHSPM Speaker Mic
VOX100 Headset Mic

For details, consult your Uniden dealer or contact Uniden
