User manual ALAN MIDLAND 445 BT

[. . . ] The Bluetooth Module of 445 BT contains the chipset of our BPA 100 Bluetooth adaptor and can be connected to almost all standard BT-headsets, which are sold for use with cellular phones. the additional charging socket allows recharging of the batteries even during operation of the radio. The radio can also be used by security staff. While wearing a standard BT headset, the radio can be hidden in the pocket, and the PTT key of the radio can be used as well as the hidden external PTT button. [. . . ] ⷠTo be on the safe side, You should ask Your Headset supplier for the PIN code information before You buy the Bluetooth Headset or ­ helmet). Talk connection on/off There are two possible methods to start the Bluetooth communication link. The method depends on which "protocol" will be used in the headset software. 1 second, the communication link is established and the LED will change to green continuously. Which of both possibilities will work, depends on the headset and the kind of Bluetooth protocol applied by the headset software. The so called Headset Protocol will allow both methods, while the Handsfree Protocol allows in some cases only the Bluetooth button at the 445 BT side to start and stop the communication link. For example the BMW Bluetooth helmet system is using the Handsfree Protocol, so only the button at the 445 BT should be used. ⷠBluetooth connections to 2-way radios are different from cellular phone connections. In cellular phone systems the Bluetooth system + headset will fall back into standby mode after a phone call has been terminated. ⷠIn 2 way radio communications, where we do not have ringing or dialing situations, the headset + Bluetooth link must be always fully active. Otherwise You would not hear short conversations on the selected channel!This is the technical reason why the operating time of a BT headset is shorter in 2-way communication compared to the long standby periods of GSM connections. ⷠIn 2 way radio systems the headset remains permanently connected with the radio and cannot be connected with any other Bluetooth audio source at the same time. However, our MIDLAND BT Intercom system is able to keep a radio connection between driver and 455 BT and to the passenger at the same time, because the BT Intercom is using separate chipsets systems for the Bluetooth and the passenger communication paths. ⷠAutomatic switching between Standard Microphone / Headsets and Bluetooth®: Normally the radio works with internal or external wired headset, as described in the standard user manual. The BT module is off or in StandBy (LED is flashing green from time to time). if BT connection is activated ( , , Talk" position) the LED will be continuously green. Now the internal microphone is switched off and the radio uses only the BT headset. Activating and Deactivating of the Bluetooth Link You can activate or deactivate the communication link any time by short pressing the start / Stop key at the headset or the Bluetooth key at the 445BT radio. Activated: Green LED on, Deactivated: LED off, only flashing green from time to time shows that the system is in standby mode. If You do not use Bluetooth for longer time, you should switch it off completely (4 seconds pressing until 4 x red will flash) Vox or manual PTT Operation?You can generally select between VOX or manual PTT operation in Bluetooth mode as well as in wired microphone mode.
