When connecting the CT-96 headset cable be-

This happens when the connector on the CT-96 headset cable is simply
pushed into the MIC/EAR jack.
The jack must be screwed into the MIC/EAR jack to make proper con-
tacts within the radio.
Contact your Aviation dealer for details on purchasing an aftermarket
Push-To-Talk switch.
The CT-96 headset cable is made to operate with most headsets; however
to be concretely sure check with the headset manufacturer providing the
wiring shown below. Please confirm the connections and connector sizes
are correct.
