STEP ONE: Connecting to a Two-Way Radio
To connect your BLUE-MOBILE adapter to a two-way radio, follow these steps:
• Always turn o your two-way radio before connecting or disconnecting your BLUE-MOBILE adapter.
• Plug the BLUE-MOBILE adapter into the audio accessory jack of your two-way radio.
• Tighten the retaining screw at the bottom of the adapter to ensure that the BLUE-MOBILE adapter remains attached to the
radio. DO NOT over tighten.
• You can secure the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter to your two-way radio or clothing using the Velcro fastener or belt clip.
• Turn on your two-way radio and verify that the radio transmits and receives with the adapter attached.
• Because no wireless audio accessory will yet be paired to the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter, received signals should be heard over the
radio’s internal speaker and transmitted signals will be sent using the radio’s internal microphone.
• The Talk button on the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter will not function as a Push-to-Talk button for your two-way radio until a wireless
audio accessory is successfully paired to the adapter.
USING THE FRICTION PAD (Velcro version)
The BLUE-MOBILE adapter is supplied with a rubber Friction Pad.This pad provides additional protection and stability when
using the Velcro Fastener to attach the adapter to a radio or other location.
To install the rubber Friction Pad do the following:
1. Open the Velcro Fastener on the back of the BLUE-MOBILE adapter so that the two straps are separated.
2. Align the Friction Pad so that it is centered over theVelcro Fastener on the back of the adapter.
3. Slide one strap of the Velcro Fastener into one of the slots in the Friction Pad and pull the strap through.
4. Slide the other Velcro Fastener strap through the other slot in the Friction Pad.
5. Place the BLUE-MOBILE adapter in the position you wish to mount it and close the Velcro Fastener.

STEP TWO: Pairing with an Audio Accessory
• Turn o the radio that the BLUE-MOBILE adapter is connected to. Wait at least three seconds.
• Turn the radio on while holding down the Talk button on the BLUE-MOBILE adapter.
• Continue to hold the Talk button down for approximately three seconds. Release the Talk button when the status LED
begins to ash two times per second.
• The BLUE-MOBILE adapter is now in audio accessory pairing mode. Activate the pairing mode on your compatible
wireless audio accessory.
• Once the wireless audio accessory and BLUE-MOBILE adapter are paired with each other, the status LED on the adapter
will show a constant blue light for three seconds.
• If the BLUE-MOBILE adapter does not detect a compatible wireless accessory within 60 seconds of being put into pairing
mode, the adapter will exit the pairing mode and resume normal operation.
• Once successfully paired, you will be able to operate your two-way radio using your compatible wireless accessory.
Reconnecting to a Previously Paired Headset
Once the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter has been successfully paired to a Bluetooth headset it will remember that connection. If the
headset is powered o or loses connection, the adapter will attempt to reestablish the connection. The adapter and headset
will attempt to reestablish their link whenever when the radio/adapter and headset are both turned on and in within range of
each other. Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds.
STEP THREE: Transmit and Receive Operation
The BLUE-MOBILE Adapter will automatically route received radio calls based on the following priority:
• If a wireless Bluetooth headset is paired to the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter, calls will be heard over the speaker in the headset.
• If no wireless headset or audio accessory is paired to the PRYMEBLU adapter or the wireless accessory is turned o, calls
will be routed to the internal speaker of the two-way radio.
NOTE: When a new accessory is connected, paired, disconnected, or powered on, it may take several seconds for the audio
from received radio calls to be routed appropriately.
Push-to-Talk can be activated by pressing and holding the Talk button of the BLUE-MOBILE adapter or by using an optional
BLUE-MOBILE Wireless Bluetooth PTT (model BT-PTT, sold separately). If you are using a BLUE-MOBILE PTT, you will rst need to
pair the adapter with the PTT device, using the instructions located in the PRYMEBLU PTT User’s Guide.
When transmitting, the operator’s voice is picked-up by:
• The microphone in the paired wireless Bluetooth audio accessory.
• If no audio accessory is paired with the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter, or the paired wireless audio accessory is turned o, the internal
microphone in the attached two-way radio will be used.
Troubleshooting
My wireless audio accessory will not pair with the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter.
Follow the instructions to place the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter into the correct pairing mode and then activate the pairing mode
on the accessory. Make sure that the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter and accessory being paired are within one meter of each other.
My wireless audio accessory or worked before, but is not working now.
Make sure that the BLUE-MOBILE adapter is properly connected to the two-way radio and that the radio is turned on. Ensure
that your wireless audio accessory has a fully charged battery and is turned on. If the devices will still not work, re-pair the
BLUE-MOBILE adapter to the wireless accessories.
My radio shows "Keyloader" on the LCD when I press the Talk button of the BLUE-MOBILE Adapter.
When your press the talk key with no wireless headset paired, the radio believes a keyloader is attached to the radio.
Disable the keyloader function in the radio's programming software or pair a wireless accessory with the adapter.
