Having problems with message search?
I have the HandyMic as well... unfortunately a boom mic or any external microphone cannot be added to the HandyMic ... but you could patch it into another FM or assistive listening device that has an external mic. For instance... take your HandyMic audio patch cord and plug it into the headphone jack of a William Sound Pocket talker with external mic. Use the external mic as described below. The advantage of patching the two is you'll be able to keep the boot reciever and hear wirelessly.
You can configure this a number of ways. Just keep trying things until you find something that works.
there used to a be picture of this configuration on the AMPHL page. www.amphl.org admittedly I haven't looked lately.
Write again if you need clarification.
