Figure 2-2. Carrying Harness, Front View (Closed)
The carrying harness transceiver compartment is closed by a front flap, which can be unzipped and
raised as shown in Figure 2-3. This provides full access to the interior of the carrying harness for
installing the transceiver, or retrieving stored items (spare battery, charger, cables, etc.). Additional
storage pouches for large accessories, e.g., folded whip antenna, handset, etc., are located on the sides
of the carrying harness. The optional GPS antenna (mounted on the adapter, AD-1000P) can be
attached to one of the top side straps (either on the left or right hand side of the harness). The optional
portable loudspeaker, LS-108M, can be inserted in a special pocket at the right-hand side, or attached
with a strap to the harness. During operations, the audio accessory (handset or microphone) can be
attached with a strap to the front side of the desired shoulder strap.
In addition to the front flap, the carrying harness has a top protection flap: when the front flap is
closed, it is possible to open the top flap to gain access to the Micom front panel and to most of the
stored items.
Figure 2-3 shows the carrying harness with the front flap open. Note the internal storage pockets, and
in particular the spare battery compartment. The transceiver, with battery, is installed in the
compartment located above the spare battery storage, behind a restrainer plate. After the transceiver is
in place, the restrainer is pressed against the transceiver body by tightening the four side restraining
straps. Two additional top restraining straps, passing along the sides of the transceiver, are attached to
the handles, to prevent vertical movement. After the transceiver is secured, the front flap can be
closed.
