Instead, you can transmit by pressing the PTT button on the side of the radio. Transmitted signals will be sent using the radio’s internal microphone. 3 4 STEP TWO: Plugging a Wired Accessory into the Adapter The PRYME WTX Adapter requires an Apple®-compatible wired audio accessory that contains both earphones and a built-in microphone, such as Apple part number ME186LL/A, or MD827LL/A. Additionally, many aftermarket accessories are available from a wide variety of manufacturers that will work with the adapter. To connect a compatible accessory to the adapter: • Always turn off the 2-way radio that the PRYME WTX Adapter is connected to when connecting or disconnecting a wired audio accessory. • Insert the plug of the audio accessory into the Wired Accessory Port of the PRYME WTX Adapter and press down until the plug snaps firmly into place. The PRYME WTX Adapter allows you to activate your two-way radio’s Push-to-Talk feature wirelessly while using an Apple® compatible cellular telephone style wired headset. © 2015 PRYME Radio Products, Brea, CA.

STEP THREE: Replacing the Wireless Finger PTT Battery (IF NEEDED)The wireless finger PTT is powered by a 3-volt CR2032 coin cell battery, which should last up to one full year before needing replacement. The first time you use your WTX Adapter and Wireless finger PTT, you will need to remove the plastic Insulating Tab which is pre-installed to prevent the battery from becoming discharged during shipping. You will also need to replace the battery with a new one at the end of its lifetime.

To replace the battery, use this procedure:• Remove the top cover of the finger PTT by securely holding the back cover and rotating the front cover in a counter-clockwise direction until the two halves separate from each other.• Locate the battery holder inside of the finger PTT. Remove the dead battery from the battery holder. A ball point pen or non-metal object such as a toothpick can be used to push the battery out of the holder if needed.• Insert a new CR2032 coin cell battery into the battery holder, observing proper polarity. The positive side of the battery (marked with a “+”) should face away from the circuit board.• Reinsert the two halves of the PTT housing and rotate the top cover clockwise to tighten.

IMPORTANT: Always remove the coin cell battery from the �nger PTT if you are going to be storing the device without using it for any extended period of time.

STEP FOUR: Pair the Wireless �nger PTT and WTX Adapter (if needed)Before the Wireless finger PTT will function with a PRYME WTX Adapter, the two devices must be paired with one another. Once they have been paired, the two devices will remember each other and should not need to be re-paired again. To pair the WTX Adapter and finger PTT do the following:• Turn off the radio that the PRYME WTX Adapter is connected to. Wait at least three seconds.• Make sure that a compatible accessory is plugged into the adapter’s Wired Accessory Port. • Turn the radio on while holding down the Multifunction Button on the PRYME WTX Adapter. Continue to hold the button down.• While continuing to hold down the Multifunction Button on the WTX Adapter, press and then release the Push-to-Talk button on the finger PTT. Press and release this button approximately once per second for 3-5 seconds.• Release the Multifunction button on the WTX adapter. Continue to press and then release the Push-to-Talk button on the wireless finger PTT once a second for another 3-5 seconds.• Pressing the Push-to-Talk button on the wireless finger PTT should now cause the 2-way radio to transmit. If it does not, try repeating the pairing process.

STEP FIVE: Using the WTX Adapter and �nger PTTOnce the PRYME WTX Adapter and Wireless finger PTT have been paired together, you can use the Push-to-Talk button on the wireless finger PTT to cause your 2-way radio to transmit. • Received signals will be heard through the earphones of your wired cellular phone accessory. The volume of received calls can be adjusted using the volume control on the 2-way radio.• Push-to-Talk can be activated either by pressing and holding the Push-to-Talk button on the wireless �nger PTT or by pressing and holding the Multifunction Button on the PRYME WTX Adapter.• When transmitting, the operator’s voice is picked-up by the microphone in the wired cellular phone accessory.

NOTE: Any auxiliary function buttons on your wired cellular phone audio accessory will NOT work when using the accessory with a PRYME WTX Adapter and 2-way radio. This includes volume control, phone answer, audio controls, etc.
