Two Stage Low Battery Alert
The powered headset has a two stage low battery alert system to notify the user
when approaching a depleted battery. This allows the user to have adequate notice
before loss of communications.
USB Programmable
The headset has a built in USB port for configuring with your Windows PC. Many of
the features may be customized and saved from the program. Refer to the Sonetics
Headset Program for details.
User Replaceable Battery
The powered headset uses an industry standard replaceable battery. This allows the
user to replace the battery at end of life and have spares in the field for extended
operation times.
Voice Prompts
The voice prompt menu guided system allows the user to make all adjustments
without removing the headset to look for lights, text, or knob positions. The Voice
Prompts automatically adjust volume to ensure intelligibility in changing
environments.
Wired Line-in
The wired line-in is used to interface with cell phones and hand held radios. This
gives the user another source for flexibility in their communication needs. The
wired connection features a mono input and output with PTT output. See your
Sonetics dealer for an accessory to match your equipment.
Common Features, Communication Headsets
Not available on the APX372 headset.
Auto-Leveling Microphone
The headset automatically detects the voice of the user against the noise in the
background. This allows the headset to have an automatic VOX (noise gate or
squelch) that needs no adjustment when transitioning from areas of differing noise
levels.
Noise Cancelling Microphone
The microphone is a noise cancelling type designed to remove the background
noise right at the mic element. This allows the receiver of the conversation to hear
the person talking and not the background noise.
Radio PTT
The headset interfaces with any two-way portable radio using the wired AUX input
or wireless DECT connection. When there is a DECT connection, the PTT signal is
passed to the wireless DECT. Otherwise, the PTT signal is passed to the wired AUX
input.
Wireless Bluetooth® Technology
Available on the APX379 & APX375 headsets.
The headsets with wireless Bluetooth operation have the ability to connect with
other wireless Bluetooth enabled devices. This allows the user to add an additional
source to listen to or communicate with. Devices such as cell phones, mp3 players,
mobile radios, computers, etc. expand the communications potential.
A2DP Audio Streaming
The headset features integrated A2DP streaming audio functionality, so you can
listen to music or podcasts, and hear turn-by-turn direction information from a GPS
application on your phone. You can also use this feature to stream audio from a
Bluetooth-enabled computer to the headset.
