I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

Positioning the microphone capsule (HSP 4)
The microphone capsule has a cardioid pick-up pattern and is best placed directly at the corner of the mouth. Note: Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your mouth. Make sure that the windshield is put on. To position the microphone capsule, push the microphone boom backwards or forwards in the holder. The microphone capsule can be precisely positioned using the flexible gooseneck.
Cleaning the pop protection (HSP 4 only)
The pop protection is integrated into the microphone capsule of the HSP 4. To clean or replace the pop protection, lever it from the capsule.
Note: When attaching the pop protection, it is important not to cover the sound inlet!
