BUDDY PHONE
®
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Figure 13 and proceed as follows:
1. Locate the communications port
on the right side of the mask.
Unscrew (counterclockwise) the
fastening nut from the plug using
OTS wrench. Remove the plug
and store for possible future
use (Figure 12 on page 18).
2. Loosen (counterclockwise)
the captive fastening nut on
the microphone and push-to-
talk (PTT) module of the Buddy
Phone. Allow enough space between the fastening nut and
the base of the module to accept the lip of the mask.
3. Insert the microphone and PTT module into the mask’s
right communications port. The nickel microphone
wires may need to be bent slightly to install.
4. Continue inserting the microphone and PTT module into the
communications port. The lip of the mask should go over the base
of the module and rest between the base and the fastening nut.
5. The fastening nut is then screwed down clockwise until
tight against the mask. The Buddy Phone cable should be
pointing towards the Buddy Phone above the right ear.
6. Once the microphone is inside the port, carefully position it within
1/4” of the right corner of the diver’s lips. The port accepts either
the ME150 Microphone, ME-16R Hot-Mic, or Super Mic.
7. Fully insert the upper right head strap of the mask into the
strap retainer slot on the OTS-BUD-D2 so that the Buddy
Phone will be positioned above the right ear. Stretching
the strap will make it easier to slip into the slot.
8. Before donning the mask, position the Buddy Phone as far back
as possible to allow for tightening of the mask straps. Once
fitted, adjust the Buddy Phone over the right ear as needed.
Note: In most cases of weak or bad communication, OTS has found that
the microphone has been installed under the seal and toward the chin.
The microphone needs to be clear of the seal and in the correct position
for good, clear communications.
