* Always turn off your two-way radio before connecting the Bluetooth adapter.
* Plug the Bluetooth Adapter BT-Adapter into the speaker-microphone / audio
accessory jack of your two-way radio.

ensure that the Bluetooth adapter remains attached to the radio
* Turn on your two-way radio and verify that the radio transmits and receives with
the adapter attached.

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 Bluetooth 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. 3
