SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR RADIO. Users are not permitted to make changes or modify the device in any way. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the device. See 47 CFR Sec. 15.21. This device complies with Part 15 of the U.S. FCC Rules.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/ COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your device in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
wireless device and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers should: • ALWAYS keep the wireless device more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the device is turned ON. • not carry the device in the breast pocket. • use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW At Motorola we believe that easy portable communication is the key to creating a safer environment. That’s why we designed this exciting new two-way communication device called the Radio Bluetooth Adapter (RBA). The RBA represents another breakthrough in applying Bluetooth wireless technology by Motorola. This adapter allows your radio to send and receive audio from a wireless accessory such as a Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) without wires.
If your radio is VOX (voice activated transmission) capable, the Bluetooth wireless functionality will continue with your adapter and a VOX capable Bluetooth wireless headset. We’re confident that once you try the Bluetooth wireless adapter and accessories, you’ll wonder how you survived with all those attachment wires in the first place! PTT (Push-To-Talk) Latch BLUE Button LED Indicator Screw Figure 1.
GETTING STARTED Installing the Radio Bluetooth Adapter (RBA) NOTE: The RBA is designed to clip onto the back of specially designed radio batteries. 1. Place the bottom of the RBA to the battery. Press the top latch of the RBA to the battery until it snaps into place. Refer to Figure 2. 2. Attach the side connector to the radio’s accessory connector. Secure the side connector with the metal screw using a coin or thin bladed screwdriver. Latch Side Connector Metal Screw Figure 2.
Removing the Radio Bluetooth Adapter (RBA) 1. Detach the side connector from the accessory connector with the metal screw using a coin or thin bladed screwdriver. 2. Detach the top latch by pressing down and pulling the RBA away from the battery. Turning ON the RBA The RBA turns ON when the radio is turned ON. The RBA LED lights GREEN for one second, indicating successful power-up.
3. Place the audio accessory next to the radio. (For best results keep both within a few inches of each other.) • The RBA LED flashes ORANGE until a successful connection is established. If a connection has not been established, the LED flashes RED. • Once the RBA and audio accessory have connected, the RBA LED flashes GREEN every few seconds. NOTE: Connecting for the first time takes longer to establish than subsequent connections.
Lost Link If the connection is lost at any time, the RBA LED flashes ORANGE until the connection is re-established. If a connection has not been re-established within 30 seconds the LED flashes RED. NOTE: During the attempt to re-establish a connection, your radio and PTT button function normally. Turning OFF the RBA If a wireless connection is established, you can turn off your RBA without losing its memory to the connection with the audio accessory.
Disconnecting the Bluetooth Wireless Connection You can disconnect and re-establish the connection when both the RBA and audio accessory are still on. 1. Press both the RBA BLUE and PTT buttons. • The RBA LED flashes RED, indicating the connection is broken. 2. To re-establish the connection while the RBA and audio accesory are on, place the RBA within a few inches of the audio accessory. Press both the RBA’s BLUE and PTT buttons, then immediately press both the audio accessory’s BLUE and PTT buttons.
LED Indicators RBA LED Indicator GREEN Description Solid GREEN for 1 second, indicates successful RBA power-up, or... Solid GREEN for 1 second, indicates successful connection with an accessory, or... Solid GREEN for duration of the PTT press or while receiving, indicates the RBA is functioning correctly. Flashing GREEN Flashes GREEN every few seconds when connected to the radio and no communication or transmission is taking place.
OPERATION Operational Range For optimum performance from your RBA, use it within 30 feet of your audio accessory. This range will vary depending on environmental conditions, i.e. clothing, radio placement on body, buildings. Receiving Once the RBA is connected to your audio accessory, the radio speaker mutes and the audio is heard only from the audio accessory. • While receiving, the RBA LED lights a solid GREEN for the duration of the received communication.
Volume Control Refer to your Bluetooth wireless audio accessory manual for any volume control instructions. VOX (Voice Activated Transmission) (Available only with select VOX capable radios) If your radio is VOX capable and has been programmed into the radio, this feature can be enabled to operate with the RBA and an audio accessory. NOTE: VOX can only be enabled on the RBA during radio power up. To Activate VOX 1. Turn off your radio. 2. Press and hold the RBA PTT button while turning on the radio.
To De-activate VOX Press either the RBA or audio accessory PTT button. • The radio exits VOX mode and returns to normal operation. BATTTERY Your RBA and battery are safe to charge in your current radio’s battery charger. Low Battery Alert Refer to your radio’s operator manual for specific battery instructions. Battery Life Refer to your radio’s operator manual for specific battery instructions.
