Operating Instructions

  • Receiving Audio: Once connected, audio from your walkie talkie will be transmitted directly to the earpiece.
  • Adjusting Volume: Use the volume adjustment slider located on the side of the microphone unit to increase or decrease the audio output to a comfortable listening level. This allows for quick adjustments without needing to access the radio's controls.
  • Transmitting Audio (PTT): To speak, press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the microphone unit. Speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT button when you are finished speaking to return to receive mode.

  • Acoustic Tube Care: The transparent acoustic tube can be removed, changed, and cleaned. Gently twist and pull to detach it from the earpiece base. Ensure it is dry before reattaching.
  • Cable Care: While the Kevlar reinforced cable is designed for durability, avoid excessive pulling, twisting, or sharp bends to prolong its lifespan. Store the earpiece neatly to prevent tangling.
