from the factory with basic programming already performed; however this default pr og ram- ming
may not be appropriate for your radio system and some features may not be enabled . To get the most
out of your GPSMIC products , a system administrator or radio technician should program the unit(s) using
a computer and the GPSMIC Tools software suite before they are deployed into the field .
This installation guide assumes that such programming has already been per f ormed . If it has not, please

Portable GPSMIC Installation Diagram
CONNECT THE GPSMIC TO THE RADIO: Once the battery is char ged , you are ready to connect the
GPSMIC to the portable two-radio it will be used with.
1. Ensure that the two-way radio is turned off whenever you connect or disconnect the GPSMIC to it.
Some radios will not properly detect that an audio accessory is connected if the GPSMIC is plugged in
while the radio is turned on.
2. Connect the GPSMIC to the two-way radio ’ s audio accessory / microphone jack .
3. T u rn the radio on and wait approximately five seconds . T he LED indicator on the side of the GPSMIC
will light green momentarily when the radio to which it is connected is switched ON, and red when the
radio is switched OFF .
4. Select the operating channel and set the volume to a comfortable listening lev el .

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE (optional): For privacy, the GPSMIC can be used with an earphone or
listen-only earpiec e . Simply plug the earphone into the 3.5mm audio accessory connector on the
GPSMIC.
CONNECTION TO A COMPUTER (optional): Some GPSMICs can be connected to a computer running
the GPSMIC Tools software suite in order to allow the visual display of location reports r e c eiv ed over
the air. Not all GPSMICs have this ability. Y ou must have a Base Enabled GPSMIC and the base
station mode must be set up during programming of the unit in order to take advantage of this
capabilit y . If you are not sure whether your GPSMIC supports this f e atur e , contact your sy stem
administrator or the dealer which sold you the GPSMIC.
