Using a Nextel™ phone in DirectConnect™ mode
When connecting a Nextel™ connect the phone as you would an L-M-R.
Install the radio-end of the ICRI interconnect cable onto the accessory jack at the bottom of the phone, as you
would install any accessory (i.e.: a shoulder speaker / microphone).
NOTE: At this point, the speaker and mic of the Nextel have been disabled, you will be able to
communicate through the handset if both are connected to the ICRI and on the same talk-net.
Attach the other end of the cable to any of the LAND MOBILE RADIO INTERFACE jacks.
Set the Nextel into ―DirectConnect‖ mode and program the desired Nextel ―talkgroup‖ or DirectConnect
number.
Program the phone to stay in DirectConnect™ mode (See Nextel™ manual for directions).
Audio received from the other connected radios/accessories, will be retransmitted through the Nextel™
DirectConnect™ to the selected ―talkgroup‖ and any DirectConnect‘s will be retransmitted to the other
connected radios/accessories.
NOTE: Some adjustment of volume position may be necessary to clarify radio sound, after mid-position is
established.
