1. Connect the red wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 4 (PTT - Push-To-Talk).
2. Connect the black wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 5 (Ground).
3. Connect the white wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 6 (MIC + Audio).
4. Connect the blue wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 7 (Receive Audio)
5. Connect the green wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug pin 8 (Transmit Audio)
6. Connect the yellow wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 3 (UP-Down).

It's important to double-check the wiring configuration with the user manual of the Ranger 2985 DX and the D104 microphone.
