INSTALLING THE PRYMEBLU MOBILE ADAPTER
The PRYMEBLUE Mobile Adapter will work with most mobile and base-station amateur radios that
feature a 6-pin DIN type accessory connector. This jack is typically labeled “Packet” or “Data” and is
normally used to connect a Terminal Node Controller and other type of digital modem to the
radio. The connections used by the PRYMBLUE Mobile Adapter are shown below. For more
information about the function of this jack consult the manual for your radio.
STEP SIX: Pairing the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter and PRYMEBLU PTT (OPTIONAL)
* Make sure the amateur radio, PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter, Wireless Headset, and PRYMEBLU
BT-PTT are all turned OFF. The BT-PTT should be fully charged.
* On the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter, press and hold the Multifunction Button while turning the
Power Switch on the adapter to the ON position. Continue to hold the Multifunction button down
for approximately three seconds. Release the button when the status LED of the adapter begins to
flash two times per second.
* Once again, press the Multifunction Button on the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter. Release the
button. The LED indicator on the Mobile Adapter should now flash three times per second. The
PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter is now in PTT pairing mode.
* On the PRYME BT-PTT, press and hold the Push-to-Talk button while setting the power switch to the
ON position. Continue to hold the Push-to-Talk button down until you see the LED indicator change
to a series of rapid flashes. Release the Push-to-Talk button. The BT-PTT is now in pairing mode.

For more information about the
power requirements of the adapter,
see page 3.
Multifunction Button
This button is used to
place the PRYMEBLU
Mobile Adapter in
pairing mode. It can
also be used as a
Push-to-Talk (PTT)
button
Connection Cable

connect the adapter to the mobile/base station radio
Adapter Housing
The BT and radio interface circuitry of the
PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter are contained inside
this compact and rugged polycarbonate housing
Velcro for Mounting
The Velcro pad on the bottom
of the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter
allows it to be mounted in a convenient
location near the mobile/base station
two-way radio
External PTT Jack
This 2.5 mm Tip-Sleeve
(TS) style jack can be used
to connect an (optional)
external Push-to-Talk device
(such as a foot switch) to the
adapter. The correct method
for wiring the external switch
appears below.
Radio Connector
The radio connector
is the part of the
adapter that plugs
into your amateur
radio. For more
information on this
connector, see pg. 3
STEP ONE: Connecting the Mobile Adapter to an Amateur Radio
* Align the radio connector of the Mobile Adapter with the jack on the amateur radio and push
the connector into the jack until it is firmly seated.
* If you will use the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter with a wired Push-to-Talk (such as a footswitch)
plug the connector for the PTT into the External PTT Jack of the adapter and mount the switch.
STEP TWO: Programming radio
* On some radio models you may need to set the radio for “1200 Baud” packet radio operation
for the radio to work properly with the PRYMEBLU Adapter. The Wireless adapter may not work
properly if the radio is set for “9600 baud” packet mode.
STEP THREE: Powering the Adapter
The PRYMEBU Mobile Adapter requires an external filtered, regulated DC power source. The
power source should be rated for between 10 and 15 VDC and capable of delivering current at
least 100 mA (0.1 A) average / 150 mA (0.15 A) surge. Power leads are provided so that you can
make this connection.
* The black wire (-) should be connected to the negative lead of a DC power source or to chassis
ground if you are installing the adapter in a vehicle.
* The red wire (+) should be connected to the positive lead of a DC power source. It is
recommended to make all connections with at least #20 AWG stranded insulated copper wire.
STEP FOUR: Mounting the Adapter
Velcro is supplied with the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter which allows you to secure the adapter
to nearly any location near the amateur radio. For convenience, you should mount the adapter
somewhere that the user will be able to see the status LED and to reach the Multifunction
Button for ease of use.
STEP FIVE: Pairing the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter with a Wireless Headset
* Make sure that the amateur radio, PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter, and Wireless Headset are all
powered OFF. The Wireless Headset should be fully charged.
* Put the Wireless Headset into pairing mode following the instructions provided by the
headset’s manufacturer.
* On the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter, press and hold the Multifunction Button while turning the
Power Switch on the adapter to the ON position. Continue to hold the Multifunction button
down for approximately three seconds. Release the button when the status LED of the adapter
begins to flash two times per second. The PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter is now in headset pairing
mode.
* Place the Wireless Headset near the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter and wait. Within a few
seconds, the devices should synch to each other. Once paired, the LED on Mobile Adapter will
change to a long blue flash followed by a single blue flash every few seconds.
* If the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter does not detect a compatible Wireless Headset within sixty
seconds of being put into pairing mode, the adapter will exit the pairing mode and resume
normal operation.
* Once the adapter and headset have paired to each other, you can power on the amateur
mobile radio.
