Additional Comments:
Adaptors are available for some phones that don’t have a 2.5 mm hands
free jack built in. This is the case for many Nokia, Sony-Ericcson and
Motorola phones. Contact Conex for more information.
We don’t recommend using Nextel phones because of the unusually
high amount of digital interference that is transmitted by these phones.
The FlipJack can be used with portable land-line phones that have a
built-in 2.5 mm earphone jack.
Many FlipJack customers are using wireless microphones as a way of
getting crowd noise while broadcasting ball games from booths.
When using the FlipJack on a land line, the transmitted audio level may
be too low. If this is the case, try using another brand of telephone.
The battery life is approximately 30 hours.
The AUX input can be use with any line level input such as mini disk
layers, wireless mics, cassette decks, remote mixers etc. This input is
balanced in - mono. You will have to modify the connecting cable if you
have a stereo source. Seewww.conex-electro.com for more information.
The Headphones MUST have STEREO plugs
Be sure to turn the power OFF when you are through with the unit to
conserve battery life. NOTE: The power switch only controls the
battery power supply ... it does not turn the FJ-500 off when external
power is connected batteries.
The audio should be adjusted so that the right most LED flashes just
occasionally. Steady flashing could be an indication of over driving
the cell phone which could cause distortion.
If you want to listen to an off-air signal while using the FlipJack, connect
a portable radio to the TUNER IN jack and put the MONITOR switch
in the AIR position.
The RECEIVE level should be adjusted to provide an adequate level
in your headphones while listening to someone talk at the other
end of the connection.
The Conex FJ-500 FlipJack is a compact adaptor that allows easy remote
broadcasts via your pocket cell phone. It interfaces to various broadcast audio
sources and is designed to work with any cell phone with a 2.5 mm hands-free
adaptor jack. Use the FlipJack with your own remote mixers, tape recorders,
microphones, headphones etc. for immediate and cost effective remotes.

cell phone and cause distorted, garbled audio.
(Normally left in
“Receive”)
Some cell phones don’t provide side tone audio. If this is the case, you
won’t be able to hear yourself in your headset when the monitor switch is
in the RCV position. To accommodate these phones, we have added a
“side tone” adjustment on the side of the FJ-500. Turn this control up until
you have adequate level in your headphones.
