Installation

Installation is straight forward.

Inputs to the switch should be taken from the headphone jack on your
transceiver. These are usually standard 1/4-inch stereo (3-circuit) jacks.

The input jacks on the rear of the 842 are 3.5mm (1/8-inch) mono and are
marked “L” for LEFT radio and “R” for RIGHT radio. Two cords are
required with 3.5mm plugs on one end and a plug to match your transceiver
on the other. If you use stereo plugs, only the tip (and sleeve) connection is
required. Sheilded cable is prefered for the cords though not absolutely
required.

Operation:

Set levels by plugging your headphones into the unit. Move the SELECT
switch to the ‘Mix’ position. Set the MIX knob pointer to center position.
Adjust your transceiver volume controls for equal volume in each ear.

Tune in signals on each radio, then rotate the

MIX control left to right The

level will now follow the control to one side or the other.

Moving the select switch to

LEFT, STEREO or RIGHT will cause you to

hear only

LEFT or RIGHT radio or equal levels STEREO from left and

right radio.
