Connecting a Wired Audio Accessory
to the Bluetooth adaptor
STEP THREE: Using a TAPaulk Quick-Disconnect Wired Audio Accessory
(Optional)
The Quick-Disconnect port on the Bluetooth adaptor allows the connection of a
compatible wired TAPaulk QD series accessory. This includes compatible
earphones, surveillance kits, remote microphones, and Push-To-Talk accessories.
* To connect a wired accessory, first turn off the two-way radio that the Bluetooth
adaptor is connected to.
* Lift up and remove the protective jacket covering the Quick-Disconnect port on
the Bluetooth adaptor to expose the connector.
* Align the Quick-Disconnect connector of the audio adapter with the
Quick-Disconnect port on the Bluetooth adaptor and push the connectors together
gently until they click into place.
NOTE: the male and female ends of the quick release connectors are keyed so they
must be properly aligned before the two halves can be pushed together.
* To remove a wired accessory that has been installed, gently lift up on the outer
cover of the Quick-Disconnect connector until the accessory is released and then
pull up to remove the accessory.

STEP FOUR: Transmit and Receive Operation
The Bluetooth adaptor will automatically route radio calls based on the following
priority:
* If an audio accessory is connected to the Quick-Disconnect Port of the Bluetooth
adaptor, radio calls will be routed to this accessory.
* If no wired accessory is connected, calls will be routed to a wireless accessory, if
one is paired with the Bluetooth adaptor.
* If no wireless headset or audio accessory is paired to the Bluetooth adaptor or the
wireless accessory is turned off, calls will be routed to the internal speaker of the
two-way radio.
NOTE: When a new accessory is connected, paired, disconnected, or powered off, it may take
several seconds for the audio from received radio calls to be routed appropriately.
Push-to-Talk can be activated by any of the following methods:
* Pressing and holding the Talk button of the Bluetooth adaptor.
* Using the PTT button on a wired TAPaulk Quick-Disconnect accessory (if one is
connected to the Bluetooth adaptor).
When transmitting, the operator’s voice is picked-up by:
* The microphone in the wired-audio accessory connected to the Quick-Disconnect
port on the Bluetooth adaptor.
* If no wired audio accessory with a microphone is connected, the microphone in
the paired wireless audio accessory will be used.
* If no audio accessory is paired with the Bluetooth adaptor, or the paired wireless
audio accessory is turned off, the internal microphone in the attached two-way
radio will be used.
