charged for 8-10 hours prior to next use. Depending on the
situation it may also need to be “re-connected” to the desktop
charger.
Pairing
Each Wireless PTT Handset is uniquely connected to a
specific charging cradle in the factory. This ensures that all
communications between the two units are secure and cannot
be compromised or interfered with by a third party. A wireless
handset is paired with its cradle while in production. When
a wireless handset is docked to a different cradle, it does not
automatically pair with a different cradle as it maintains its
pairing configuration with the original cradle it came with.
To pair a wireless handset with a new cradle, press and hold
the PTT button while pressing both blue volume controls for
8 seconds until the Wireless Handset speaker sounds a fast
beeping tone alert. Now place the Wireless Handset back into
the charging cradle. After a few seconds the Wireless Handset
will sound a two tone confirmation and the red LED on both
units will glow solid to indicate connection is complete.
Antennas
As compared to the basic internal stick antenna, the magnetic
mount antenna provides enhanced coverage when placed on
an unobstructed area of a vehicle’s roof. It should be connected
via its low loss coax cable to the RP-SMA-F output on the
charging cradle. Make sure the cable is tight and secure.
WARNING
Keep your body at least 20cm (8”) away from vehicle mounted
external antenna. See page 7 for other important details.
In the event of a damaged or lost antenna, only original
replacements should be used so as to not compromise the unit’s
type approval certification or performance.
IMPORTANT
The Wireless PTT Handset performs best when worn with the
antenna extending up above your shoulder. This helps reduce the
effects of body shielding and enhances overall coverage.
Coverage is always dependent on the local terrain, obstacles and
the overall communications environment. For wider coverage, an
external antenna should always be fitted to the roof of the vehicle.
For best performance we recommend you use the supplied multi-
polarity antennas.
A variety of specialist vehicle antenna configurations are available
to enhance into-building penetration or, to simply extend the
overall communication zone around your vehicle. Ask your dealer
which antenna configuration best suits your specific application.
INTERFERENCE:
Units operate in the 2.4GHz unlicensed band and may be subject
to external interferences from other radio frequency transmitting
devices.
