ON YOUR H-189/GR HEADSET...
 THOSE SHAKY,

 SHAKY PINS










 The contact pins in your H-189/GR headset usually do what's expected-
make contact.
 But slippage of the 2 pins in the earphone element-and microphone ele-
ment, too-can often cause a short with the metal shield covering the elements.
 That, o' course, can knock out your element.
 Trouble is, the contact pins aren't any too secure in their plastic mold, so-o-o-o,
rough handling' or incorrect installation in the headset can shake 'em up.
 Then the pins can slip and come into contact with the metal shield on the
element.
 Here's what you can do for a temporary fix:


USE EPOXY
PASTE TO
HOLD PINS
 TIGHT


 Use a fast-drying epoxy paste as a filler around the contact pins to hold 'em
tighter.
 This'll cut down chances of a short caused by the pins touching the metal
shield.
 To request the epoxy paste, use FSN 8040-847-6387, as listed on Pages 88-
89 of Fed Cat C8000-IL-A (Jan 68).
 Nix on trying to repair failed elements. These should be discarded, and only
working elements should be given the epoxy treatment.
