Wire A Rci 2950 Microphone

You will need to wire a RCI 2950 microphone if its cable has been cut or is damaged and does not work. Six pins plug into the microphone port on the back of the radio. If a spare microphone cord is not available, you can splice the two damaged sections of the microphone cord back together.


Instructions


1. Cut ¼ of an inch from both ends of the microphone card that you will need to splice with the wire cutters.








2. Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over the longer part of the cord.


3. Strip ½ to 3/4 of an inch of outer cover from the cord with the wire strippers.


4. Strip ¼ of an inch of insulation from each of the colored wires. Place the end of each colored wire from one piece of the cord into one end of a butt connector.


5. Crimp the end of the butt connectors with the crimping tool.








6. Insert the wires from the other piece of cord into the opposite end of the butt connectors. Verify that the all of the colored wires are matching. Crimp the end of the butt connectors with the crimping tool.


7. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the butt connectors. Apply heat from the blow dryer until the tubing begins to shrink over the cable.


8. Plug the connector end of the microphone cable into the microphone port on the radio.
