iCON RECEIVER PART IDENTIFICATION
PART # 310 123 XXX
Figure A points out distinguishing features of the iCon receiver so that the top and
bottom can be identied. Features to look for are the alpha keying receptacle on
the top side and the numeric keying receptacle on the bottom. By holding the iCon
receiver, the top can be determined by holding it so the letters and numbers are
readable.
The front and rear of the iCon receiver are shown in Figure B. The front has a polarizing
feature which prevents the ITA and receiver from being engaged in the incorrect
orientation. The front of the iCon receiver can be identied as the side with the
latching feature.
The front side mates with the iCon ITA. Wires exit the iCon receiver from the rear side.
