PRYME PRYMEBLU BTH-TA5 User Manual

Headset Compatibility
The PRYMEBLU BTH-TA5 headset adapter is compatible with many wired mu headsets made by
di erent manufacturers. To be compatible, the headset must use a Switchcraft TA5 connector
with industry standard wiring. The standard pin out for the TA5 is shown below. Contact your
headset manufacturer if you are unsure whether your headset is wired correctly.
Additionally, the headset must use a low-voltage type microphone element such as an
electret-condenser type with a bias voltage requirement of 1.5 VDC or less. Microphone
cartridges with a higher voltage requirement (such as 3 or 5 VDC) are not compatible with the
PRYMEBLU BTH-TA5. Contact your headset manufacturer if you are unsure about the
microphone's power requirement.

Charging the PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter
The PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter has an internal Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack which must
be charged prior to operation, and must be recharged regularly. A fully charged battery will provide
approximately 10 hours (or more) of operation before needing to be recharged. However, operating
time can vary depending on usage and the condition of the battery pack. Recharge the battery
regularly.
STEP ONE: Charging the PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter
To charge the PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter
1. Ensure the PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter is turned o , using the switch located on the back of the
device.
2. Plug the supplied wall charger into a standard 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Plug the charge cable into the AC wall charger and then into the charge jack on the bottom of the
PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter. You will need to remove the protective rubber cover that is inserted
into the charge jack. (To prevent dust and moisture from damaging your lapel microphone, always
ensure this cover is in place when you are not charging the adapter.)
4. Once the charging process has begun, the LED indicator on the side of the PRYMEBLU Headset
Adapter will show a constant red light. When the battery is done charging, the LED light will change
to a green color.
5. Typical charge time is approximately 2-3 hours. Actual charge time will vary depending on several
factors including the battery's charge state, condition, and age.
6. Disconnect the charger from the adapter when charging is completed.
Charging Cautions:
- Use only the wall charger supplied by the manufacturer. Do not use any other charger.
- Do not use a wall charger that appears to be damaged. (Example: frayed wires, melted plastic, etc.)
Contact PRYME to get a new manufacturer-approved replacement charger.
- Do not tamper with or modify the PRYMEBLU Headset Adapter or charger.
