CHARGING THE BTH-300 LAPEL MICROPHONE
The PRYMEBLU BTH-300 lapel microphone has an internal Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack which
must be charged prior to operation. 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.
To charge the PRYMEBLU BTH-300 lapel microphone:
1. Ensure the PRYMEBLU Lapel Microphone is turned off using the Power Button.
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 side of the lapel
microphone. 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 lapel mic.)
4. Once the charging process has begun, the LED indicator on the back of the PRYMEBLU Lapel
Microphone will show a continuous red light. When the battery is done charging, the LED light will
turn off.
5. Typical charge time is approximately 4 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 lapel mic 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 BTH-300 lapel microphone or charger.
- Always turn the power switch to the off position
when charging the PRYMEBLU Lapel Microphone.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO ACCESSORY TO THE BTH-300 LAPEL MICROPHONE
In order to be able to hear incoming signals
received by the 2-way radio or cellphone,
the PRYMEBLU BTH-300 lapel microphone must
be used with a wired audio accessory that includes
an earphone. A PRYME EH-1189SC ear bud-style
earphone is included with the lapel microphone kit.
However, many different optional wired audio
accessories are also available.
To connect an audio accessory to the BTH-300 lapel microphone:
1. Plug the audio accessory into the 3.5 mm audio jack located on the top of the PRYMEBLU BTH-300
lapel microphone. Make sure that the connector on the audio accessory is pushed all the way into the
jack on the lapel microphone.
2. You can adjust the volume of received signals by using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on
the lapel microphone or by adjusting the volume setting on the radio or cellphone.
Optional Audio Accessories:
Although the BTH-300 KIT 1 includes a PRYME ear bud-style earphone, it is possible to use a different
audio accessory, if you wish. The 3.5 mm audio jack on the lapel mic will accept any mono or stereo
earphone with a 3.5 mm audio plug. You can also use any 3.5 mm 4-conductor (Apple iPhone
compatible) audio accessory that includes both an earphone and a microphone, such as Apple part
numbers ME186LL/A, or MD827LL/A (not included). If the audio accessory has a built-in microphone,
transmit audio will be taken from the accessory microphone.
