Introduction
The Harris Bluetooth® Remote Speaker Mic (RSM), model 12082-0800, is a wireless device utilizing Bluetooth® technology. It features an integrated speaker, microphone with push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, an emergency button, and auxiliary buttons. An audio headset can be connected via a 4-pin audio jack, which mutes the RSM speaker. The internal battery is charged using a standard micro-USB connector. A clip on the rear of the RSM allows for attachment to a lapel or belt.
The RSM supports a covert mode, suppressing LED indications and selectively muting audio annunciations. It is compatible with Harris LMR portable and mobile radios, as well as Android™ and iOS™ devices running the BeOn® application. Button functionality may vary depending on the operating mode (LMR or BeOn).

Getting Started
3.1 Charge the Battery
The RSM should be charged before first use and after approximately 10-12 hours of use. To charge:
- Power OFF the RSM and connect a micro USB cable to the microphone's USB port.
- Connect the USB-A connector to a computer or a wall charger.
- A SOLID RED light on the RSM indicates charging. The light turns off when the unit is fully charged. Charge time is approximately 2-3 hours.
3.2 Power On/Off
- Power On: Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds and release.
- Power Off: Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds and release.
After power up, the LED indicator can be turned off by operating in COVERT mode (see Section 3.4). If the RSM is not paired, it will enter Pairable mode.
3.3 Volume Control
- Volume Up: Press the upper volume button for 2-3 seconds on the side of the RSM. Pressing longer increases the volume. An audio beep confirms each volume step.
- Volume Down: Press the lower volume button on the RSM. Functionality and audio indications are the same as the volume up button.
3.4 Software Reset
To perform a software reset on the RSM, simultaneously press and hold the SWB1, SWB2, PTT1, and PTT2 buttons. After a few seconds, two red LED blinks indicate that the RSM has been reset and entered pairable state.

3.8 Microphone Performance Tip
For best results, do not hold the microphone directly in front of your mouth and do not shout. Best results are achieved when holding the microphone at 15-20 cm in front of your mouth and speaking in a normal volume.
3.9 Pairing Speaker Mic
[NOTE] Refer to the user documentation for the radio or phone when performing the procedures described in this section.
First Time or New Pairing
- Delete previously paired RSM devices through the radio or phone's Bluetooth menu.
- Perform a Software Reset on the RSM (see Section 3.4).
- From the radio or phone's Bluetooth menu, select 'add new.' Follow the steps displayed on the radio/phone, and select the desired RSM to pair. See Section 3.4 for indications that may aid in troubleshooting.
Pair RSM with an iPhone®
[NOTE] The RSM firmware integration with BeOn is still in BETA.
This section describes pairing the Bluetooth Remote Speaker Mic with an iPhone and connecting to BeOn®.
This procedure is comprised of three steps:
- Bluetooth pairing of your iPhone (Section 3.9.3).
- Enabling RSM controls in BeOn (Section 3.9.4).
- Selecting the RSM as the preferred audio device in BeOn (Section 3.9.5).
3.9.3 Pairing an iPhone with the RSM
- Turn on the iPhone.
- Turn on the RSM.
- On the iPhone, navigate to Settings → Bluetooth. Enable Bluetooth.
- The iPhone displays the RSM as “Allcom One PTT.”
- Tap “Allcom One PTT.” The iPhone indicates that it is now connected to the RSM.
3.9.4 Enable RSM Controls
- On the iPhone, open the BeOn application.
- In BeOn, navigate to Menu → Preferences → Remote Speaker Button Settings and turn on Remote Button Enabled.
- On the RSM, press the Primary PTT button. The RSM appears under OTHER DEVICES as "Disconnected."
- Select the RSM. The RSM appears under SAVED DEVICES as “Connected.”
3.9.5 Select the RSM for Audio Output
This section describes how to select the RSM as the preferred audio device for BeOn. In the BeOn app, select Menu → Audio Option → Allcom One PTT.
Operation
4.1 Operational Procedures
For the Beta version of the RSM, Bluetooth pairing and BeOn audio port selection is maintained between power cycles. However, the first Primary PTT press following the power-on cycle of the RSM is used to establish the control connection. For this reason, the first Primary PTT following the power-on cycle does not initiate a PTT. All subsequent presses of the PTT buttons initiate a PTT. Likewise, other buttons, such as emergency, are enabled following the first PTT.
When enabling the connection (first Primary PTT), care should be taken to ensure that the desired iPhone is nearby, paired, and that other paired, but unconnected iPhones are not nearby. The Beta version of the RSM does not prevent audio pairing and control connections to establish with different RSMs. If mismatched connections should occur, power off the RSM and re-establish the connection without the mismatched iPhone nearby.
4.2 Normal Operation
After Bluetooth pairing and BeOn configuration have been completed, power cycle the RSM and then press the Primary PTT to establish the connection before first use.
PTT: Following the initial Primary PTT, the PTT buttons operate as press-to-talk and release-to-listen.
Emergency/Distress: Pressing the Emergency button sends the alert to the BeOn application. The BeOn application responds according to its configuration. Distress states are cleared using the standard BeOn user interface.
All other buttons on the RSM, including call, soft button left, and soft button right, do not have defined behaviors for the Beta software.
4.3 Audio and PTT Control
To provide low-latency Bluetooth PTT response and audio presentation, the BeOn application maintains an open audio port when the RSM and iPhone are connected. The iPhone home screen indicates this open audio port with a red bar. No microphone audio is collected unless the PTT button is pressed.
