Setup
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the lapel headset, acoustic tube, and ear tip from the packaging.
- Attach Acoustic Tube: Connect the clear acoustic audio tube to the ear tip. Ensure a snug fit to prevent sound leakage.
- Connect to Radio: Locate the Easy-Connect adapter on the headset cable. Align the two Guide Arrows on the adapter with the corresponding arrows on your compatible Motorola radio's accessory port. Gently push and twist until the connection is secure.
- Position Lapel Mic: Clip the lapel microphone unit to your clothing, ideally near your collar or chest, ensuring the microphone is facing outwards for clear voice transmission.
- Insert Ear Tip: Place the Fin Ultra Ambi ear tip into your ear. It is designed for comfortable wear in either the left or right ear. Adjust for optimal comfort and sound clarity.
Operating Instructions
- Receiving Audio: Once connected, audio from your radio will be transmitted directly through the acoustic tube to your ear. Adjust your radio's volume for comfortable listening.
- Transmitting Audio (Push-to-Talk): To transmit, press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button located on the lapel microphone unit. Speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT button when finished speaking.
- Microphone Sensitivity: The microphone is highly sensitive, designed to pick up even whispers. Position it appropriately to avoid muffled audio.
- Radio Adapter PTT: Some radio adapters may feature an additional PTT button directly on the adapter for convenience. Refer to your radio's manual for specific functionality.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the ear tip and acoustic tube with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure they are completely dry before reassembly. The lapel microphone unit can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the microphone or radio connector in water.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headset in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cables.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect cables for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Check connections for looseness.
