Connecting the Adaptor to Radio
STEP ONE: Connecting to Two-Way Radio
To connect your Bluetooth adaptor to a two-way radio, follow these steps:
* Always turn off your two-way radio before connecting the Bluetooth adaptor.
* Plug the Bluetooth adaptor BT-M3 into the speaker-microphone / audio accessory
jack of your two-way radio.
* On some models of two-way radios, you may need to tighten a retaining screw to
ensure that the Bluetooth adaptor remains attached to the radio
* Turn on your two-way radio and verify that the radio transmits and receives with
the adaptor attached.
* Because no wireless audio accessory will yet be paired to the Bluetooth adaptor,
received signals should be heard over the radio’s internal speaker and transmitted
signals will be sent using the radio’s internal microphone.
* The Talk button on the Bluetooth adaptor will not function as a Push-to-Talk
button for your two-way radio until a wireless audio accessory is successfully
paired to the adaptor, or a wired audio accessory is plugged into the
Quick-Disconnect port.
