Pairing with a PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter and 2-way Radio
When pairing the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone with a PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter, make sure that the speaker
microphone, adapter, and the two-way radio the adapter is connected to are all powered off to start.
If your PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter gets power directly from the two-way radio it is attached to:
•Hold down the Talk button on the PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter while turning the two-way radio ON.
If your PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter has its own charger/internal battery pack:
•Turn the power switch on the PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter to the ON position while holding down the
multifunction Talk button on the PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter.
•Continue to hold the Talk button on the adapter down for approximately three seconds. Release the Talk
button when the status LED on the PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter begins to flash two times per second. The
PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter is now in audio accessory pairing mode.
•Hold down the PTTButton on the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone while turning the device on using the
Power/Volume Knob.. 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.
Reconnecting a Previously Speaker Microphone and Radio Adapter
Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and Radio Adapter have been successfully paired together, both
devices will remember that connection. The adapter and speaker mic will attempt to reestablish their link
whenever the radio/adapter and microphone are both powered on and in within range of each other.
Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds.

telephone. The speaker microphone is even capable of simultaneously pairing with both a PRYMEBLU
Radio Adapter and a cell phone, enabling you to use the same speaker microphone for both radio and
telephone calls.
NOTE: If you wish to use the multi-pairing feature
to connect the BTH-500 to both a PRYMEBLU Radio
Adapter and a cellular phone, you must first pair the
PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and PRYMEBLU Radio
Adapter using the procedure shown on Page 4 of this
manual. Once the two devices have been paired to
each other, power the two-way radio/Bluetooth Radio
Adapter off, and follow the procedure shown below:
When pairing the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone with a cellular phone, make sure that the speaker
microphone and all other nearby Bluetooth devices are powered off before beginning.
• Hold down the PTT Button on the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone while turning the device on using the
Power/Volume Knob.. 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.
•Activate the Bluetooth feature on your phone.
•Activate the “scan/discover new Bluetooth devices” feature on the phone. The exact steps needed to
do this will vary depending on the brand/model of phone you are using.
•Select the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone from the list of Bluetooth devices shown on your phone.
If the phone asks for a passcode, enter “0000”. The phone may also prompt you to confirm the connection.
•After a few seconds, the two devices should synch to one another. Once the PRYMEBLU Speaker
Microphone and phone are paired with each other, the status LED on the microphone will revert back to
a single blue flash every few seconds.
•Once successfully paired, you will be able to make and receive telephone calls using the PRYMEBLU
Speaker microphone.
Multi-Pairing Operation
Once you have successfully paired the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and cellular phone, you can enable
multi-pairing operation simply by powering on the two-way radio/PRYMEBLU Radio Adapter that you
previously paired with the PRYMBLU Speaker Microphone. Within a few seconds, all three devices should

SPECIFICATIONS
Using the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone
Once your PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone and PRYMEBLU Adapter and/or cellular phone have been
paired together:
Received signals will be heard over your PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone’s front- ring speaker or
through the optional earphone. The volume of received calls can be adjusted using the
Volume/Power Knob on the speaker microphone or the volume control on the two-way radio or
cellular phone.
When transmitting or on a phone call, the operator’s voice is picked-up by the microphone in the
PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone.
Push-to-Talk can be activated one of several different ways:
• By pressing and holding the PTT button on the PRYMEBLU Speaker Microphone.
• By pressing and holding the Talk button on the PRYMEBLU Adapter.
• Using an optional wired PTT that is plugged into the PRYMEBLU Adapter.
• Using an optional PRYMEBLU Wireless Bluetooth PTT (model BT-PTT2, sold separately). Note that if
you are using a PRYMEBLU BT-PTT2, you will first need to pair the adapter with the PTT using the
instructions located in the PRYMEBLU PTT User’s Guide.
To answer or hang up a cellular telephone call, press the orange Phone Button on the side of the
speaker microphone or use the user interface on the phone itself.
You can also activate your phone’s voice dialing feature by pressing and holding the Phone Button
on the side of the microphone for three seconds. (This function works only when the microphone is
NOT connected to a two-way radio.)
NOTE: When you are on a phone call, signals received by the two-way radio will not be heard.
Additionally, if you press the PTT button on the PRYMBLU Speaker Microphone while you are on a
phone call, the two-way radio will transmit, however no transmit audio will be sent over the air, since
microphone audio is being routed to the cellular phone.
