General Operation Operating Concepts and Terms Personal Communication Bubble The FreeMic 200 works within a small field, or “bubble” of communication surrounding the user. The size of the bubble is determined by the distance between the FreeMic and the adapter. If the FreeMic and adapter are close together, the bubble shrinks to approximately three feet (0.91 meters) in diameter – just large enough to accommodate the range of communication between adapter and FreeMic.
When your FreeMic has remained in Seek Mode for two minutes without finding a link, it will go into Sleep Mode. While in Sleep Mode, the FreeMic uses no power. To awaken your FreeMic from Sleep Mode, depress the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and hold for one second, which activates Seek Mode. Charging the Battery six hours before first use. Subsequent charges take just three hours (approximate). The charge indicator light will turn green when the FreeMic battery is fully charged.
General Operation Using Your FreeMic for the First Time Step One: Charge FreeMic Battery Plug the FreeMic into an electrical socket using the included wall charger. Please refer to the diagram on page 11 for the location of the wall charger connection on the FreeMic. Step Three: Turn On Adapter Turn on your portable radio and set toggle switch on your FreeLinc adapter to “On” position.
Step Six: Establish Link (Automatic) Once you have paired your FreeMic to an adapter, the two devices can establish a communication link. This occurs automatically immediately after pairing, and the link persists as long as the FreeMic remains within the Personal Communication Bubble (see definition; page 14). When your FreeMic moves outside of the bubble, the link is lost, and the unit returns to Seek Mode.

When the link has been broken for two (2) minutes, the FreeMic will move into Sleep Mode, and will thus power off. VOX Operation Entering VOX Mode To enter VOX mode, depress the Volume Down button on FreeMic for six seconds. The adapter LED will change from flashing green to flashing orange.
Manually Initiating the Pairing Process To initiate pairing, hold the FreeMic close to the adapter and simultaneously depress the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons on the FreeMic. Hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the FreeMic simultaneously for two seconds. The adapter LED will flash solid green indicating a successful pairing. You can repeat this process at any time to break the existing pairing and establish a new pairing with any other adapter.
