If the Field Operator experiences difficulty in monitoring/listening to voice of the caller via the " Earpiece
Magnets " please check/perform the following:
• That the " Earpiece Magnets " are properly inserted inside the their ear canals.
• Increase the speaker volume level of the Bluetooth
®
Enabled Cell Phone (BECP). NOTE: The volume level of
the BECP may be increased/decreased by pressing the respective "DEVICE VOLUME" buttons (+) and ( ‐ )
located on the side of the Concealed Communicator
™
Base Unit.
• If the " Small Earpiece Magnets " are being used replace them with the " Large Earpiece Magnets ". NOTE: The
"Large Earpiece Magnets" will produce the loudest sound level.
• That the " Neck Loop Transmitter " is securely connected to the Concealed Communicator
™
Base Unit's
" LOOP " port.
• That the " Neck Loop Transmitter " is located near the Field Operator's ear canals containing the " Earpiece
Magnets ." NOTE: The "Earpiece Magnets" create more vibration/a louder sound the closer they are
positioned to the "Neck Loop Transmitter."
• If sporadic electric “noise” is experienced place the Bluetooth
®
Enabled Cell Phone (BECP) further away
from the Concealed Communicator
™
Base Unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The ability for a "Coach" to monitor/listen to sounds occurring within the proximity of the "Low Profile
Microphone" as well as the Field Operator’s ability to monitor/listen to the voice of the caller via the
"Earpiece Magnets" are dependent upon several factors which include, but are NOT limited to:
• The anatomic hearing capability of the individuals (Coach and Field Operator)
• Ambient sounds/noises occurring within the operating environment
• The positioning of the " Earpiece Magnets " inside the ear canal
• The distance between the " Neck Loop Transmitter " and " Earpiece Magnets "

Operating Considerations & Notes :
• After the " Earpiece Magnets " have been inserted, the Field Operator may have a tendency to speak
louder than normal. The Field Operator should be cognizant of this and always try to speak at an
appropriate volume level.
• It is difficult for any person to effectively listen to and understand communications when two people or
speaking to them at the same time. The "Coach" should be cognizant of this fact and avoid speaking
to/coaching the Field Operator when they are actively engaged in communications with a subject.
• The "Coach" should speak loudly and clearly when communicating with the Field Operator to help ensure
that that their voice is heard.
• During operations the " Neck Loop Transmitter " has a tendency to become warm.
• In applications involving the use of the " Tone Generator Button " component, the Field Operator and
"Coach" should establish how different tone combinations are to be coded/interpreted. For example, if the
Field Operator presses the " Tone Generator Button " ONCE that they would like the last statement
provided by the "Coach" repeated or if the Field Operator presses and holds down the " Tone
Generator Button " for (5) seconds or longer that Tactical intervention is necessary.
