1 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
External Speaker
Ensure any external speaker used has an impedance
from 8 to 16 ohms. Use a 3.5mm mono (two
conductor) plug.
Headphones
Use headphones having 4 to 32 ohms impedance.
You can also use stereo headphones. When
·headphones are used, no sound is heard from the
internal (or optional external) speaker. Use a 3.5mm
mono (two conductor) or stereo (three conductor)
plug.
Microphone
To communicate in the voice modes, connect a
microphone having an impedance of 600 ohms to the
MIC jack. Optional microphones include the MC-43S,
MC-60SS, MC-SO, and MC-S5. Do not use the MC-44,
MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM or MC-45DME
microphone.
Key or Electronic Keyer
Connect your key or electronic keyer to the KEY jack
on the rear panel. Use a 3.5mm mono (two conductor)
plug.
When using an electronic keyer, ensure the keyer
wiring polarity is correct.

Interface Connector
The IF-100 Interface is an optional accessory used to
control the TS-50S transceiver from a computer.
The interface connector access hole is located in the
bottom cover of the transceiver. The hole is covered
by a circular protective patch that can be removed
easily by prying up on the patch's edge with a
fingernail. Use care not to scratch the bottom cover if
any tool is used to remove the patch.
Removing the patch cover exposes the 6-pin male
connector (CN6) to which the IF-100 Interface can be
connected. Refer to the IF-1OD Instruction Manual for
further information on using this interface.
