PRYME Radio Product TROOPER II GPS-2201 User Manual

Using the TROOPER II™ GPS Speaker Microphone
To connect the speaker microphone to the radio:
For dual-pin models (GPS-2201)
* Insert the speaker/microphone plugs into the speaker/microphone jacks of the transceiver.
* Push the connector toward the transceiver until you feel it "snap" into place.
* To prevent the connector from accidentally coming unseated during use, you may optionally
install the Kenwood locking bracket which is supplied with the transceiver.
For multipin models (GPS-2211)
* Insert the guide tab of the Trooper II GPS's radio connector into the slot just below the radio's
universal connector.
* Align the connector with the radio's universal connector.
* Tighten the thumbscrew on the connector to secure it to the radio. Do NOT over tighten.
NOTE: You should ensure that the two-way radio is powered o whenever you connect/disconnect the
PRYME Trooper II GPS speaker microphone from the two-way radio.
Operation of the Trooper II GPS is transparent to the user. The user may transmit voice messages by
pressing and holding the Push-To-Talk button on the side of the Trooper II GPS and then speaking into
the microphone. Received calls will be heard Trooper II's front- ring speaker or through the optional
listen-only earphone, if one is used.
As long as the Trooper II GPS is connected to the radio's accessory jack, the radio is powered on, and the
GPS receiver inside the Trooper II GPS has a valid location x, the user's GPS coordinates will be sent as
data across the radio system at the pre-programmed intervals. The user can also manually send their
GPS location by selecting the "Send the GPS Data" option from the radio's menu.

Controls and Connection
GPS Antenna (Internal)
The Trooper II™ GPS uses an internal high-gain "stealth" GPS antenna.
Placing the antenna inside the microphone results in a more durable
design and prevents the GPS antenna from drawing attention.
Push-to-Talk Button
Pressing and holding this button
causes the two-way radio to
transmit. The large PTT button is
easy to operate even when
wearing gloves.
Rubberized Grips
The grips on each side of the
GPS-2200 Trooper II™ make it easier
to hold the microphone
Polycarbonate Housing
The weatherized housing is made
of durable high-impact
polycarbonate. It meets the
requirements for MIL-STD-810 and
has an IP56 rating against dust
and moisture.
Listen Only Earphone Jack
The microphone uses a standard
3.5 mm mono earphone jack for
connecting an optional listen-only
accessory (sold separately).
Microphone Cable
The Trooper II GPS uses PRYME's
military-grade RINO™ microphone
cable. The cable has a tough
polymer jacket on the outside and
Kevlar® reinforcement inside and is
engineered to last longer and retain
its shape better than other cables.
Note: GPS-2211 model shown.
Other models may vary slightly in appearance.
Setup and Programming
In order for the GPS receiver in the Trooper II GPS to work properly, the two-way radio that the
speaker microphone will be used with must be properly programmed using the appropriate
Kenwood CPS (Computer Programming Software) and programming cable.
NOTE: The information in this section pertains to Kenwood Nexedge NX-200 and NX-300 radios.
Other radio models may require slightly di erent programming.
