Charging the Speaker Microphone

The BTH-600-MAX Speaker Microphone has a
Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack which
must be charged prior to operation, and must be
recharged regularly. A fully charged battery will
provide up to 40 hours of continuous 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 Speaker Microphone
1. Ensure the device is turned off using the multifunction button.
2. Plug the charge cable into any powered USB outlet, such as
an AC wall charger, and then into the charge jack
on the Speaker Microphone.
3. Once the charging process has begun, the LED indicator
on the Speaker Microphone will show a constant red light.
4. Typical charge time is approximately five hours. Actual charge time
will vary depending on several factors including the battery's charge state, condition, and age.
5. When the battery is fully charged the LED indicator on the side of the Speaker Microphone
will turn off.
6. Disconnect the charger from the microphone when charging is completed.
Charging Cautions:
- Do not use a wall charger or charge cable 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 Speaker Microphone or charger.
- Always turn the Speaker Microphone off when charging.

Pairing with a PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter, 2-Way Radio, or Phone

The BTH-600-MAX speaker microphone is designed to work
with PRYMEBLU wireless adapters, and two-way radios with
internal BT made by BK, Icom, and Kenwood/EF Johnson,
as well as smartphone and tablets running either the
Android orApple iOS operating systems. Prior to normal
operation, the handset and speaker microphone must
be paired together using the following process:
• Hold down the Multifunction Button on the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone. Continue to hold the
button down for approximately 3 seconds, until you see the LED on the Speaker Microphone begin to
quickly flash RED-BLUE-RED-BLUE in sequence. The PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone is now in pairing
mode.
• If you are pairing the microphone to a PRYMEBLU adapter, place the adapter into pairing mode
following the instructions in the user's manual for that device. Typically, this is done by holding down
the PTT button on the adapter while powering the adapter or attached two-way radio on and then
continuing to hold the PTT button down until the LED on the adapter flashes two times per second.
• If you are pairing the microphone with an Icom or Kenwood/EF Johnson two-way radio, follow the
manufacturer's instructions to have the radio scan for nearby headset devices. Once it finishes scanning,
select the PRYMEBLU microphone from the list of nearby devices.
* If you are pairing the microphone with a smartphone, make sure that the smartphone's BT slider is
turned on and then use the phone's BT menu to scan for nearby devices. Select the device named
"BTH-PTT" to pair with the phone.
• After a few seconds, the two devices should sync to one another. Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker
Microphone and Adapter, Radio, or Phone are paired with each other the status LED on the Speaker
Microphone will then show one FLASH every few seconds.
• Once successfully paired, you will be able to operate your 2-way radio using the PRYMEBLU Speaker Mic.

Reconnecting a Previously Paired Speaker Microphone and Two-Way Radio or Phone

Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and adapter, radio or phone have been successfully paired
together, both devices will remember that connection. The adapter/radio and Speaker Mic will attempt
to re-establish their link whenever the adapter, radio or phone and Microphone handset are both
powered on and in within range of each other. Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds.

This Microphone picks up the user's
voice audio when sending a call.
Volume Up and Down Buttons
These buttons can be used to turn
the receive audio volume of the
Speaker Microphone up or down
in five preset steps.
