Mounting the connector

Mount the connector into a cutout, as shown in Figure 12 below.

Connect the eight wires as follows:

•

Two for the microphone

•

Two for audio

•

One for power

•

One for ground

•

Two for audio shields

Audio and microphone wires should be connected to the back of the

existing microphone and headphone jacks, leaving existing jacks

intact for use with conventional headsets. This is usually the fastest

installation method (see Figures 1 – 4 for reference). Audio shields

should be connected to ground at the existing jack.

(Caution: Use of two headsets wired in parallel is not advised. This

may result in reduced performance.)
