ATTENTION!
These Surveillance Earpieces, when attached to the radio, are restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC ICNIRP RF energy exposure requirements. Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

ACOUSTIC SAFETY

Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect.  To protect your hearing:

  •  Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job.
  •  Turn up the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings.
  •  Turn down the volume before connecting headset or earpiece.
  •  Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume.
  •  When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radio’s speaker directly against your ear.
  • NOTE: For radio to detect the accessory properly, turn the radio off before connecting the audio accessory to the radio.

DESCRIPTION

The PMLN6127/PMLN6128/PMLN6129/PMLN6130 Surveillance Earpieces with Push-To-Talk (PTT) Microphone can be used when the operator would like to conceal two-way radio usage from others. These kits include one programmable button. These surveillance accessories are used in quiet environments to prevent others from hearing radio transmission. NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the surveillance features of the selected accessory are suitable for his/her intended use.

Replacement Parts/Options

A custom earpiece requires the PMLN6242 Translucent Tube. For use with PMLN6129 and PMLN6130 kits ONLY.

INSTALLATION

  • Removing the rubber ear tip
  • Remove the rubber ear tip by pulling it out and away from the elbow. Refer to Figure 1.

Attaching the foam ear tube plug

  •  Slip the end of the black tube over the elbow.
  •  Use your fingertips to squeeze the foam ear tube plug fairly tight around the center of the black tube.
  •  While the ear tube plug foam is compressed, insert it into your ear canal far enough to be worn comfortably. Within a few seconds after the ear tube insertion, the  compressed foam will conform to the shape of your ear canal.
  •  To further reduce the noise level, compress the additional foam earplug provided. While the foam earplug is compressed, insert it into the other (open) ear canal far enough to be worn comfortably. Within a few seconds after the earplug insertion, the compressed foam will conform to the shape of your ear canal.
