PRYME PRYMEMAX BTH-300-MAX KIT 1 Instructions

CHARGING THE BTH-300-MAX LAPEL MICROPHONE

The PRYMEMAX BTH-300-MAX 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 PRYMEMAX BTH-300-MAX lapel microphone:
1. Ensure the PRYMEMAX 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 PRYMEMAX 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
PRYMEMAX BTH-300-MAX lapel microphone or charger.
- Always turn the power switch to the off position
when charging the PRYMEMAX Lapel Microphone.

CONNECTING AN AUDIO ACCESSORY TO THE BTH-300-MAX LAPEL MICRO-
PHONE
In order to be able to hear incoming signals received by the
cellphone, the PRYMEMAX BTH-300-MAX lapel microphone
must be used with a wired audio accessory that includes
an earphone. A PRYME listen-only earphone or a different
audio accessory may be included with this kit.
Many different styles of optional wired audio
accessories are available.
To connect an audio accessory to the BTH-300-MAX lapel microphone:
1. Plug the audio accessory into the 3.5 mm audio jack located on the top of the PRYMEMAX
BTH-300-MAX 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 cellphone.
Optional Audio Accessories:
Although the BTH-300-MAX 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 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.
