Ensure the microphone cord (4) is disconnected from the communication cord (1).
Insert the jack (5) with attached jack holder through the hole, and install the

the heat gun (Item 10, Appendix B).
Install two screws to attach the microphone connector with the jack holder plate

If required, retie the strain relief plate (3) to the communications cord (1) in the
same manner in which the cord was originally tied.
NOTE
When properly tied, the knot (8) will be between the strain relief plate
and the helmet shell (9).
Attach the strain relief plate to the helmet shell with the screw (11), post (7),
and spring washer (10).
WARNING
Ensure that the HGU-56/P crushable earcups are used with the
TEMPEST headset.

If installing communications cord P/N 1680-ALSE-162, enlarge the
hole in the left earcup using an electric drill (Item 9, Appendix B) and
a DBC19/64 drill bit (Item 8, Appendix B) before performing Step 7.
