the Y cable kit has a Y cable with TRRS that plugs into the CTIA connector on Maestro. Mic plug goes into the mic side of Y cable.
There is an RCA female to TS 3.5mm male adapter. Mic PTT to the adapter and adapter to PTT in on Maestro.

the mic has an rj45 connector on it
I have that same FHM3 variant (with RJ45) which I used with my Maestro B. I am waiting for the appearance of a new mic-cable, which I can plug directly into the microphone, and the other end has two Maestro C plugs.
I lose adapters. They get noisy and intermittent. I don't want adapters.
look at the k5ebq comments below it took me several hours as well to figure it out; the headset connector stays disconnected; i also like the mic connector on the B MUCH BETTER they should have made an adapter
I wonder if my Heil Pro 7 headset will work?
I should send out the Maestro C FAQ again. :)
Microphones with a TS ⅛” Microphone connector (such as Heil ProSets) may not work correctly with the Y adapter cable.
The Y cable requires a TRS ⅛” connector with the Mic + on Tip and the Mic - (or ground) on the Shield.
Heil has advised us they are working on a solution, so you may want to reach out to Heil directly.
If you wish to use the FLEX-6400 or FLEX-6600 FHM-3 Hand Mic or the Inrad desk Mic with a Maestro C, you will need this kit.
The kit includes the RCA to ⅛” TS Mono adapter to connect a Footswitch with an RCA connector such as the Radiosport Footswitch.
It also included a Headset Y adapter that splits the Headset TRRS jack on the Maestro to a ⅛” TRS for the Microphone and a ⅛” TRS for a typical stereo Headset.
When using the FHM-3 and the Y cable:
These 2 items are a must-have with your Maestro C.
thx Mike. I’ll just order a new microphone. I found it after noodling around a bit tho morning
Mike o didn’t get any screws to attach the base. I can get them locally can you tell me their specs?
Peter

I think they are M4's
ok please do
I’m going to order a battery pack and mic too
ok just placed the order. Can they add them to that?
Mike
Were you able to get the screws in my shipment?
Peter
The Y cable includes an adapter that allows plugging the mic’s PTT lead into the Maestro C’s PTT socket.
