STEP THREE: Pairing the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter and PRYMEBLU PTT (OPTIONAL)
* Make sure the mobile two-way radio, Bluetooth Headset, and COBALT BT-PTT are all turned
OFF. The BT-PTT should be fully charged.
* On the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter, press and hold the Multifunction Button while turning
the radio ON. Continue to hold the Multifunction button down for approximately three
seconds. Release the button when the status LED of the adapter begins to ash two times
per second.
NOTE: Your two-way mobile radio may transmit during this process. You should set the radio
to a channel where interference to other operations will be minimized while you are pairing
these devices.
* Once again, press the Multifunction Button on the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter. Release the
button. The LED indicator on the Mobile Adapter should now ash three times per second.
The BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter is now in PTT pairing mode.
* On the COBALT BT-PTT, press and hold the Push-to-Talk button while setting the power
switch to the ON position. Continue to hold the Push-to-Talk button down until you see the
LED indicator change to a series of rapid ashes. Release the Push-to-Talk button. The BT-PTT
is now in pairing mode.
* Place the BT-PTT near the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter and wait. Within a few seconds, the
devices should synch to each other.
* Once paired, the LED on Mobile Adapter will change to a long blue ash followed by a
single blue ash every few seconds. The LED on the BT-PTT will also show a quick single ash
every second.
* If the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter does not detect a compatible BT-PTT within sixty seconds
of being put into pairing mode, the adapter will exit the pairing mode and resume normal
operation.
Reconnecting to a Previously Paired Headset / COBALT PTT
Once the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter has been successfully paired to a Bluetooth Headset or
COBALT BT-PTT, it will remember those connections. If the headset or BT-PTT is powered oor
loses connection, the adapter will attempt to reestablish the connection. The adapter and
headset/BT-PTT will attempt to reestablish their link whenever when the devices are powered
on and in within range of each other. Re-establishing this connection can take 10-60 seconds.

The meanings of the various status LED
messages shown by the BLUE-MOB Mobile
Adapter are shown on the following table:

TROUBLESHOOTING
My Bluetooth Headset or COBALT Push-to-Talk will not pair with the BLUE-MOB Adapter. Try
re-pairing the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter and Bluetooth accessory following the instructions in this
guide. Make sure that the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter and accessory being paired are within one meter
of each other. If possible, isolate them from other Bluetooth devices such as phones, laptops, etc. that
might interfere with the pairing process.
My Bluetooth Headset or COBALT Push-to-Talk worked with the BLUE-MOB Adapter
previously, but is not working now. Make sure that the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter is properly
connected to the two-way radio and that the adapter has power supplied to it. Ensure that your wireless
audio accessory has a fully charged battery and is turned on. If the devices will still not work, re-pair the
BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter to the wireless accessories.
I can transmit using the Multifunction Button on the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter and transmit
audio is picked up from my Bluetooth Headset; however the PTT button on my COBALT
Push-to-Talk does not key the radio. Your COBALT BT-PTT is not properly paired with the BLUE-MOB
Mobile Adapter or has come un-paired. Try pairing the adapter and BT-PTT again.
I can transmit using the Multifunction Button on the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter or the PTT
button on the COBALT Push-to-Talk but no microphone audio is being heard. Your Bluetooth
Headset is not properly paired with the PRYMEBLU Mobile Adapter or has come un-paired. Try pairing
the adapter and headset again.
I have my BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter plugged into my Mobile Two-Way radio but when I turn
the radio on, the LED on the adapter does not light up. Many radios have an internal micro fuse
which protects the radio from being damaged if an accessory draws too much power from the accessory
connector. This fuse might blow if the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter is plugged into or unplugged from
the two-way radio while the radio is powered on. You may need to contact your radio dealer to
have this fuse replaced.
I need more range from my BLuetooth headset. Try to mount the BT-Mxx as high as possible and
clear of any obstructions.
STEP FOUR: Transmit and Receive Operation
Push-to-Talk can be activated by any of the following methods:
* Pressing and holding the Multifunction button of the BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter
* Pressing and holding the PTT button on the COBALT PTT (if a BT-PTT is paired to the Mobile
Adapter).
* Pressing and holding the button on the external Push-to-Talk/Footswitch (if one is plugged
into the Mobile Adapter) or pressing and holding the PTT switch on any specially designed
COBALT headset (such as the BT-LMIC, BT-Earmuor BT-Throat Mic.) Please note the function
key on a normal cell phone type headset DOES NOT activate the radio PTT.
When transmitting, the operator’s voice is picked-up by:
* The microphone in the Bluetooth Headset.
NOTE: If you are using a model of BLUE-MOB Mobile Adapter that connects to the rear
accessory jack on the mobile radio, then you can leave the radio’s hand microphone attached
and use it as a back-up if you wish. Pressing and holding the PTT button on the hand
microphone will cause the radio to transmit and the operator’s voice will be picked up by the
hand microphone.
Receive audio is handled dierently depending on whether the model of BLUE-MOB Mobile
Adapter you are using connects to the radio’s rear accessory jack or front microphone
jack/rear speaker jack.
If the adapter you are using connects to the radio’s rear accessory jack:
* Receive audio can be heard over both the radio’s internal speaker or over the earphone in
the Bluetooth Headset.
* The volume control knob on the radio controls the internal speaker volume only. If you do not
wish to hear received signals over the internal speaker, simply set the radio’s volume to zero.
* The volume of the earphone can be controlled using the Volume Up/Down buttons on the
Bluetooth Headset.
If the adapter you are using connects to the radio’s front microphone jack and rear speaker jack:
* Receive audio can be heard only on the earphone in the Bluetooth Headset. The internal
speaker in the radio will be disabled.
* Receive audio volume should be set primarily using the volume control knob on the radio. You
can ne tune the volume if needed using the Volume Up/Down keys on the Bluetooth Headset.
