that
is
designed
to
be
wireless
paired
or
connected
to
a
Bluetooth
®
Enabled
Cell
Phone
(BECP)
with
cellular
network
service.
The
BECP
paired
to
the
Concealed

™
essentially
serves
as
a
"full
‐
duplex
wireless
audio
transceiver"
(a
device
capable
of
simultaneously
sending
and
receiving
audio
signals
wirelessly).
The
audio

are
transmitted
(sent/received)
over
the
cell
phone
network
that
the
BECP
paired
to
the
Concealed
Communicator
™
Base
Unit
is
connected
to.
During
operations,
the
audio
signals that
are
transmitted
include:
• Audio
data
picked
up
by
"
Low
Profile
Microphone
"
connected
to
Concealed
Communicator
™
Base
Unit.
• Audio
data
picked
up
by
the
microphone
of
the
cell
or
landline
phone
used
by
the
"Coach"
to
communicate
(talk
to)
the
Field

generated
when
"
Tone
Generator
Button
"
connected
to
the
Concealed

™
Base
Unit
is
pressed
by
the
Field
Operator.
To
help
keep
the
operations
of
the
Concealed
Communicator
™
covert,
the
"incoming
call"
setting
of
the
BECP
used
should
be
changed
to
"auto
‐
answer"
and
the
"sound
profile"
setting
changed
to
"silent"
and/or
