CHARGING THE HEADSET
The PRYMEMAX Muff Headset 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 Headset:
- Ensure the PRYMEBLU Headset is turned off using the Power Button.
- Plug the supplied wall charger into a standard 120-volt AC outlet.
- Plug the charge cable into the AC wall charger and then into the charge jack on the Headset. You will need to remove the protective rubber cover that is inserted into the charge jack. (To prevent dust and moisture from damaging your Headset, always ensure this cover is in place when you are not charging the Headset.)
- Once the charging process has begun, the LED indicator on the Headset will show a continuous red light. When the battery is done charging, the LED light will turn off.
- 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.
- 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 Headset or charger.
- Always turn the power switch to the off position when charging the Headset.
PAIRING WITH A SMARTPHONE OR TWO-WAY RADIO
The PRYMEMAX headset is designed to work with PRYMEBLU wireless adapters, two-way radios with internal BT made by BK, Icom, and Kenwood as well as smartphone and tablets running either the Android or Apple iOS operating systems. Prior to normal operation, the handset and headset must be paired together using the following process:
- With the headset powered off, activate the pairing mode by pressing and holding the Power button until the status LED flashes BLUE-RED-BLUE-RED continuously in sequence.
- If pairing with a PRYMEBLU adapter, place the adapter into pairing mode following the instructions in the device’s manual. Then proceed to step 5.
- If you are pairing the microphone with a two-way radio, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to have the radio scan for nearby headset devices. Once it finishes scanning, select the device named “BTH-PTT” from the list of nearby devices. Then proceed to step 5.
- If you are pairing the microphone with a smartphone, make sure that the smartphone’s BT slider is turned on and then use the phone’s BT menu to scan for nearby devices. Select the device named “BTH-PTT” to pair with the phone then proceed to step 5.
- Keep the radio or handset and headset near each other and wait a few seconds. The devices will pair to each other.
NOTE that on some Kenwood radios you may hear a ring tone. If so, press the Phone Answer button on the headset to confirm that pairing.
Reconnecting a Previously Paired Headset and Phone
Once the headset and handset have been successfully paired together, both devices will remember that connection. They will reestablish their link whenever the headset and handset are both powered on and within range of each other, as long as the BT radio is enabled in the handset. Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds. If the handset and headset to not automatically reestablish their link, simply press the handset button on the PRYMEMAX headset to restore the connection.
Setting Up the Headset with your PTT App
If you are using the headset with a PTT Over Cellular app on an IOS or Android smartphone, you may need to complete some additional setup within the app itself.
