User manual Wireless Speaker Microphone
This product is designed to radiate low levels of radio energy in accordance with global government approved regulatory standards. It features Adaptive Power Output. APO automatically adjusts the RF power output in accordance with signal required. This features limits and reduces extraneous radiated radio energy. This also helps minimize battery consumption and extends battery shift life. Do not touch the antenna when operational. Keep it 1.

Operation Description Congratulations on choosing the revolutionary Wireless Speaker Microphone. This incredibly compact, lightweight personal accessory extends the power of the mobile radio to the palm of your hand, whether in and out of the vehicle. It stands ready to re-define mobile network design by increasing user functionality and mobility whilst dramatically improving the effectiveness of your infrastructure investment.
How it works Existing radio system Mobile base/charger connects to your mobile radio in your vehicle (or office) - It passes all voice traffic and alert tones to and from your Wireless Speaker Microphone Communication zone 60m.... 150m.... 300m... *Range is always dependent on the local terrain and communications environment. A variety of antenna configurations are available to enhance in-building penetration or, simply to extend the overall communication zone around your vehicle.
Basic Operation Power On & Off Usually the unit will be installed such that it powers off & on in synchronization with the host mobile radio or by a manual switch fitted by your installation mechanic. You can manually turn off the mobile charger by pressing the front orange button for 3 seconds and the blue LED will extinguish. You can do the same on the Wireless Speaker Microphone by pressing the lower grey button. The speaker mic will sound a de-escalating tone.
Multiple Unit Operation Up to three Wireless Speaker Microphones may be connected to one radio device by use of the optional Interface box accessory. Operation is identical to single user operation with the added benefit that, each party also hears each other talk when they transmit. This functionality is ideal for police: where two officers are assigned to a patrol van, or ambulance: where up to 3 paramedics can communicate at a scene as well as with their control room.
Technical Notes Battery - Charging The Wireless Speaker Microphone should be charged overnight before initial use. Thereafter it may be left in the charger unit between calls, or may be worn all day and placed back at the end of the work day. The unit is designed to provide about 10-12 hours operation between charges. If the unit does start to go flat a short beep will sound about once every 2 minutes.
Replacing the battery pack Like all re-chargeable products, periodic replacement of the internal battery is required. The Wireless Speaker Microphone features a 1200mA Lithium Polymer battery to provide typically 10-12 hours operation when used with a busy radio channel. To maximize the life of a Lithium battery its is better to keep it topped up by returning it to the charger often rather than waiting for it to first go flat - which was the case with older nickel based batteries.
Re-connection Each Wireless Speaker Microphone is uniquely connected to a specific mobile charger. This ensures that all communications between the two units are secure and cannot be compromised or interfered with by a third party. In the event of a Wireless Speaker Microphone being lost, it can be permanently disconnected from the mobile charger by connecting with a new replacement unit.
Antenna choice & replacement The XRMA multipolarity antenna provides enhanced coverage when mounted on an unobstructed area of a vehicle’s roof and should be connected via the supplied low loss coax cable to the output of the mobile charger. Alternatively use of an approved bidirectional amplifier (BDA) may also be installed to further enhance in-building coverage from your vehicle. The XBDA is installed in series by using a 3 metre (10’) length of RG58A connected to the output of the mobile charger.
Installation & Connections 1. Switched B+: Used to automatically turn on/off Wireless Speaker Microphone if connected to host radio switched B+ output, if not, the user should supply manual on/off switch. Note: internal speaker microphone battery will still charge when the unit is turned off. 2. External Mic Audio: Audio from the Wireless Microphone that is to be transmitted over the host mobile radios transmitter. It is factory set for 80mV RMS. 3. Radio Mic Lo: This is microphone audio ground. 4.
Alternatively, it could be driven by the radio’s unsquelch command that factors in reception of required correct CTCSS tones, etc. Internal jumpering caters for active low or high inputs. 9. Ground: DC ground connection. 13. Remote PTT: This provides a remote alternative to transmit Wireless Speaker Microphone audio via the host mobile radio.
