NITRO ADAPTER
• The Nitro Bee can be integrated with a single-seat
car harness and 2-way radio using accessory
cable CS-NITRO-ADPT-2.
• In this configuration, the driver can transmit and
receive on a 2-way radio normally.
• When a Race Control call is received, the Nitro
Bee mutes 2-way radio audio, giving Race Control
audio priority so the driver does not miss critical
race communications.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
The Nitro Bee uses an internal, Fast-Charge, lithium-ion
(Li-ion) rechargeable battery. It should be charged prior
to use with the included USB-C charge cable. The battery
indicator LED will illuminate red while charging and green
when fully charged. When fully depleted, the Nitro Bee
requires approximately 2.5 hour charge time to reach full
charge.
