How to Replace the Shure P9HW Wired Bodypack Clip

Quick Answer

Replacing the clip on a Shure P9HW wired bodypack is straightforward with the right technique and a small flathead screwdriver. Avoid prying at the wrong angle to prevent cracking the plastic clip.

Step-by-Step Replacement Guide

1. Remove the Old Clip: Turn the bodypack over so the clip faces up. Insert the flathead screwdriver under the clip's locking tab (the small plastic tab near the top of the clip). Gently pry the tab outward while sliding the clip downward. The clip should release from the bodypack's slot. Do not twist the screwdriver sideways—this can snap the locking tab or scratch the bodypack casing.
2. Align the New Clip: Take the replacement clip and align its rails with the grooves on the back of the bodypack. The clip should slide in from the top, with the locking tab facing the bodypack. Push it down until you hear a soft click, indicating the tab has engaged. Make sure the clip is oriented so the belt hook faces outward. Installing it backwards will make the clip non-functional.
3. Test the Clip Security: Gently pull on the clip to confirm it is locked in place. It should not slide up or detach with moderate force. Then attach the bodypack to your belt or strap and check that the clip holds firmly without wobbling. If the clip feels loose, it may not be fully seated. Remove it and repeat step 2, ensuring the tab clicks completely.
