Testing the BECP & Concealed Communicator
™
Prior to Field Use:
To test the Concealed Communicator
™
a team staff member should place a call to the telephone number of
the Bluetooth
®
Enabled Cell Phone (BECP) that is paired to the Concealed Communicator
™
.
This call will automatically be answered by the BECP as the "incoming call" setting should have been set to
“auto ‐ answer.”
After the call connects, the caller should be able to listen to/monitor the sounds occurring within the
proximity of the " Low Profile Microphone " and the Field Operator should also be able to hear/listen to the
caller’s voice via the Earpiece Magnets that they have inserted into their ear canals.
NOTE: When performing this functionality test, the caller and Field Operator should be located at least 30 ft.
away from one another or in separate rooms. If the caller and operator are located close to one another or in
the same room, cellular reverberation (echoing) may be experienced which diminishes sound quality.
If the caller experiences difficulty in monitoring/listening to the sounds occurring within the proximity of
the "Low Profile Microphone", please check/perform the following:
• That the " Low Profile Microphone " is securely connected to the Concealed Communicator
™
Base Unit's
" MIC " port.
• That no obstructions are blocking the " Low Profile Microphone ."
• That the volume/listening level of the Coach's phone is set to its highest setting.
• If sporadic electric “noise” is experienced place the Bluetooth
®
Enabled Cell Phone (BECP) further away
from the Concealed Communicator
™
Base Unit.
