Controls and Connection
Bone Conduction Microphone
The diaphragm of the microphone
rests against the user’s skull when
the microphone is installed
and the helmet is worn.
The microphone picks
up voice audio directly
from vibrations under
the user’s skin.
Speaker
Received radio
calls are heard
through this
single speaker.
Flexible Strap
The strap holds the microphone
kit in place by wrapping around
the helmet’s inner liner.
Latch Arm
This detachable arm is used to
secure the exible strap to the
helmet’s inner liner.
Hook and Loop Fastener
Allows the top of the microphone
kit to be secured inside the helmet.
5-Pin DIN Connector
This connector allows the
MR-1700 helmet kit to be
interfaced with a PRYME
tactical Push-to-Talk and
radio cable.
Snap Fittings
The latch arm is inserted
into one of these ttings
to hold it in place
USING THE SPM-1700
1. Connect the SPM-1700 to a PRYME tactical PTT and radio cable.
2. Plug the radio cable into the two-way radio. Make certain
the two-way radio is powered o whenever the cable is
being connected or disconnected.
3. Wear the helmet with the SPM-1700 installed in it.
4. Turn the radio on set a comfortable listening volume.
Received calls will be heard over the microphone kit’s
single speaker.
5. To send a radio transmission, press and hold the
Push-to-Talk button on the PRYME tactical PTT.
6. Speak clearly at a normal speaking volume.
Transmit audio will be picked up by the bond
conduction microphone.
Note that due to the nature of the bone conduction technology, transmit audio may
have a dierent delity than a normal microphone which picks up sound that travels
through the air. However, voice transmissions should be completely understandable.
