Application & Installation

This hanger knob threads into the top of the HM-164 microphone body and provides the mounting point for the hanger clip that allows the microphone to be stored on the radio or mounting bracket. Replacement is needed when the original knob becomes lost, damaged, or the threads are stripped preventing secure attachment of the hanger clip. To install, carefully thread the knob into the threaded receptacle on top of the microphone body, turning clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can damage the threads in the microphone housing. The knob should be tightened only finger-tight - no tools are required or recommended. Once installed, the hanger clip attaches to this knob, allowing the microphone to hang securely when not in use. The chrome finish should be kept clean to prevent corrosion and maintain appearance. This is a simple user-replaceable component that requires no special tools or technical expertise, though care must be taken not to cross-thread during installation.
