Headset and Radio: Put the headset on so the nylon strap is on
top of the head and the Boom and Mic are on the right. Plug the
headset into the accessory connector on the radio.

Boom and Mic: Adjust the Boom and Mic so it is 1/4" away from
your lips. If the Mic is 1" away from your lips, your voice will be
cancelled along with the ambient noise. Speak directly into the
Mic, but DO NOT SCREAM.

USE OF CREW RADIO/HEADSET:

Antenna: For best performance, mount the roof-mount antenna
in the center of the racecar roof. Drill a 3/4" hole in the roof of the
racecar and install as shown in the diagram in your instructions. If
the racecar roof is fiberglass or a non-metal composite material,
we suggest first mounting an 18" x 18" metal plate or our K-67
Ground Plane Kit under the roof and mounting the antenna to the
plate and roof. It is suggested that the antenna cable be
tie-wrapped to the roll cage and away from any other wire or
cable other than the radio harness. Periodically visually inspect
the connectors for rust and continuity.

Radio: The radio must be mounted away from all power
cables and power sources. Mount the radio with tie-wraps
and insulate the radio from the roll bar with foam
padding. Hint: Mount the radio within reach of the driver
so it can be adjusted if necessary.

Cables and Harness: Be sure to route the harness away
from all sources that could cause ignition interference.
Install on roll bar with tie-wraps.

PTT Switch: Mount the Push-To-Talk Switch on the
steering wheel and attach the coiled cord to the steering
column. Check the wheel for full turn in both directions.
