Connecting the Adapter to Radio
STEP ONE: Connecting to Two-Way Radio
To connect your PRYME BLU Adapter to a two-way radio, follow these steps:
* Always turn off your two-way radio before connecting the PRYME BLU Adapter.
* Plug the PRYME BLU adapter into the speaker-microphone / audio accessory jack of your two-way radio.
* On some models of two-way radio, you may need to tighten a retaining screw to ensure that the
PRYME BLU adapter remains attached to the radio
* Turn on your two-way radio and verify that the radio transmits and receives with the adapter attached.
* Because no wireless audio accessory will yet be paired to the PRYME BLU Adapter, received signals
should be heard over the radio's internal speaker and transmitted signals will be sent using the radio's
internal microphone.
* The Talk button on the PRYME BLU Adapter will not function as a Push-to-Talk button for your two-way
radio until a wireless audio accessory is successfully paired to the adapter, or a wired audio accessory is
plugged into the Quick-Disconnect port.
