About connecting audio
Standard jacks for microphone (2.5 mm) and audio out (3.5 mm) are located on the left side of 
the mount (under a weather cap). When connecting your audio system to the zūmo, be sure to 
consider the pathways needed to route the necessary cables. For information about hands-free 
audio and phone options, refer to the zūmo 500/550 Quick Reference Guide and the zūmo 500/550 
Owner’s Manual on disk.
