up/down button on the Speaker Microphone or the volume control on the two-way radio.

Installing or Replacing the Battery Pack
The BTH-600-HA BT Speaker Microphone gets its power from a rechargeable Lithium-Ion type battery pack.
The battery pack must be installed inside the Microphone prior to operation. Under normal usage, this battery
should have a lifespan of over 1,500 charge/discharge cycles before needing to be replaced.
To access the battery compartment:
1. Rotate the thumbscrew counter-clockwise until the cover opens. Remove the battery door.
2. Insert the rechargeable battery pack into the battery compartment. Ensure that the battery
terminals are properly lined up with the contacts inside of the battery compartment.
3. Reinstall the battery compartment cover and rotate the thumbscrew clockwise to tighten.
DO NOT over tighten.
Pairing with a Harris Two-Way Radio
When pairing the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone with a Harris
Two-Way radio, make sure that the Speaker Microphone is powered
off to start.
• Hold down the Multifunction Button on the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone. Continue to hold the
button down for approximately 3 seconds, until you see the LED on the Speaker Microphone begin to
quickly flash RED-BLUE-RED-BLUE in sequence. The PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone is now in pairing
mode.
• Follow the instructions provided by Harris to have the radio scan for nearby headset devices.
Once it finishes scanning, select the PRYMEBLU lapel microphone from the list of nearby devices.
• After a few seconds, the two devices should sync to one another. Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker
Microphone and Radio are paired with each other the status LED on the Speaker Microphone will
then show one FLASH every few seconds.
• Once successfully paired, you will be able to operate your 2-way radio using the PRYMEBLU Speaker Mic.
Reconnecting a Previously Paired Speaker Microphone and Harris Two-Way Radio
Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and radio have been successfully paired together, both devices will
remember that connection. The radio and Speaker Mic will attempt to re-establish their link whenever the devices
are both powered on and in within range of each other. Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds.
