The Bearcat 880FM is pre-configured for Uniden's 6-pin wireless, noise-

cancelling technology. Your Bearcat 880FM comes with an adapter

to connect the radio's 6-pin microphone to a current standard 4-pin

microphone.

1. Insert the 6-pin side of the adapter into the Bearcat 880FM 6-pin

microphone connection.

2. Plug a standard 4-pin microphone connector into the 4-pin side

of the adapter.

Consult your dealer for information regarding marine installation. It is

important to adequately ground the system and to prevent electrolysis

between the fittings in the hull and the water.
