Setup

  1. Identify Radio Connector: Ensure your two-way radio has a K-head 2-pin connector port. The Retevis EEK022 earpiece is designed specifically for this type of connection.
  2. Connect Earpiece: Carefully align the 2-pin connector of the earpiece with the corresponding ports on your walkie-talkie. The larger pin (3.5mm) goes into the larger jack, and the smaller pin (2.5mm) into the smaller jack. Push firmly until both pins are fully inserted.
  3. Position Earpiece: Place the in-ear earpiece comfortably into your ear. It can be worn in either the left or right ear.
  4. Secure PTT Unit: Use the rotatable stainless steel clip on the PTT (Push-to-Talk) unit to attach it securely to your collar, lapel, or other convenient location on your clothing. Ensure the microphone is positioned close enough to your mouth for clear voice transmission.
  5. Adjust Cable Length: The coil tube allows for some flexibility. Adjust the cable length as needed for comfort and to minimize snagging.
