BLUETOOTH WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW At Motorola we believe that easy portable com-
munication is the key to creating a safer environ-
ment. Thats why we designed this exciting new two-way communication device called the Radio Bluetooth Adapter (RBA). The RBA represents another breakthrough in applying Bluetooth wire-
less technology by Motorola. This adapter allows your radio to send and receive audio from a wire-
less accessory such as a Remote Speaker Micro-
phone (RSM) without wires. This RBA uses a new protocol based on state-of-
the-art Bluetooth technology specifications, which result in simplifying the use of your radio. Bluetooth wireless technology is an open stan-
dard, connecting wireless devices within a short range. The range for this particular adapter
(RBA) and the Bluetooth audio accessory is approximately 30 feet in ideal line-of-sight condi-
tions. It is important to be aware that the specific Bluetooth technology was designed and engi-
neered for use between your radio and special Bluetooth audio accessories. Your Bluetooth audio accessory will not operate with other non-
Motorola two-way radio Bluetooth products. 6 If your radio is VOX (voice activated transmission) capable, the Bluetooth wireless functionality will continue with your adapter and a VOX capable Bluetooth wireless headset. Were confident that once you try the Bluetooth wireless adapter and accessories, youll wonder how you survived with all those attachment wires in the first place!

sory connector with the metal screw using a coin or thin bladed screwdriver. 2. Detach the top latch by pressing down and pulling the RBA away from the battery. Turning ON the RBA The RBA turns ON when the radio is turned ON. The RBA LED lights GREEN for one second, indicating successful power-up. When you first turn on your RBA, it will first attempt to establish a connection with the last Bluetooth audio acces-
sory it was connected to, otherwise it will attempt to connect to a new accessory. Establishing the Bluetooth Wireless Connection Following these simple steps establishes a new connection when your RBA and audio accessory are first turned on:
1. Turn ON your radio. The RBA turns on when the radio is turned on.
The RBA LED lights GREEN for one sec-
ond, indicating successful power-up. 2. Turn ON the Bluetooth wireless capable audio accessory. (Refer to your accessory manual.) 9 3. Place the audio accessory next to the radio.
(For best results keep both within a few inches of each other.)
The RBA LED flashes ORANGE until a successful connection is established. If a connection has not been established, the LED flashes RED.
Once the RBA and audio accessory have connected, the RBA LED flashes GREEN every few seconds. OTE:
N Connecting for the first time takes longer to establish than subsequent connec-
tions. Connection Verification You may want to verify the wireless connection before you start communicating with the acces-
sory. OTE:

ton first, keys-up the radio 1. Press and hold the RBA BLUE button. 2. Press the audio accessory PTT button.
The RBA LED lights a solid GREEN for the duration of the audio accessory PTT press. If this does not happen, the connection was not established and the connection process will have to be repeated. 10 Lost Link If the connection is lost at any time, the RBA LED flashes ORANGE until the connection is re-estab-
lished. If a connection has not been re-established within 30 seconds the LED flashes RED. OTE:
N During the attempt to re-establish a con-
nection, your radio and PTT button func-
tion normally. Turning OFF the RBA If a wireless connection is established, you can turn off your RBA without losing its memory to the connection with the audio accessory. The con-
nection is automatically re-established the next time the RBA is turned on. 1. To turn OFF the RBA, turn off the radio. 2. To turn ON the RBA, turn on the radio. 11 Disconnecting the Bluetooth Wireless Connection You can disconnect and re-establish the connec-
tion when both the RBA and audio accessory are still on. 1. Press both the RBA BLUE and PTT buttons.
