General remarks
Many kinds of Bluetooth Headsets are available on the market. They all are designed for use together with
cellular phones with Bluetooth
TM
technology. The Albrecht Adapter BPA 100 is a unique solution, which allows
to connect any standard Bluetooth headset for private and professional 2-way radios, like ALAN PMR 446 or
commercial hand held radios.
System Requirements
The headset must support the Bluetooth
TM
Standard Headset Protocol
. Besides standard headsets and
Bluetooth motor bike helmets there are also some Bluetooth handsfree kits for car installation on the market,
which support different protocols, like the Bluetooth
Handsfree Protocol
. Because this is different from the
Headset protocol, such more sophisticated handsfree systems must be able to be adapted by software
switching to the headset protocoll, otherwise they cannot be used with the Albrecht adapter. Please read the
instruction manuals or better consult the distributor of the headset/ handsfree set.

Connecting the Adapter with the Bluetooth
TM
Headset
Your system of adapter and headset can establish a connection that protects you from eaves-dropping. To do
so the system needs information to identify your Bluetooth
TM
headset as its exclusive partner. This procedure
is called „pairing“. This is very important because you don`t want any other Bluetooth
TM
headsets in your
vicinity to coincidentally be connected with your radio or vice versa.
You have to start this pairing process with fully charged adapter and headset. It is necessary to switch the
adapter off before pairing. If You are not sure, switch the adapter off by the already described procedure.
For the headset side, please read about the pairing process in the instruction manual of the headset.
•
Press the function key of the adapter for at least
6 seconds
. After the first 3 seconds You will
observe that the adapter switches on (green LED is flashing).
