WEARING THE HEADSET The smartPlug is a state of the art hearing protection communication system that allows you to retain situational awareness while being in full contact with all your communication devices. Situational awareness is provided by processing technology and environmental microphones within the Earbuds. Contact through other communication devices is enabled by: -Two Way Radios interface cables (sold separately). -Bluetooth to Two Way Radios and cell phones (if installed) -Direct Headset to Headset communications through Short Range (if installed) The smartPlug is designed to be worn with the main housing attaching to the belt or pant seam, and the Inline PTT attaching to the shirt / upper garment of the user. Note:For SR communications, the best communication range is achieved with the Inline PTT set as high up on the user as possible. 2 3. FITTING THE EARBUDS 1. Place Disposable Foam Tip between thumb and forefinger. 2. Roll Foam Tip to a compressed, crease free cylinder 3. Push the Foam Tip all the way onto the Ear Bud spout. 4. Roll the Foam Tip again between the thumb and forefinger. 5. Ensure the Foam Tip remains a compressed, crease free cylinder on the Ear Bud. 6. Using your opposite hand, pull your ear upward and outward. Insert the Ear Bud deeply into the ear - as you would normally do with a Foam Ear Plug. 7. Hold the Ear Bud in place for 30 seconds while the Foam Tip expands. 8. Check to ensure the Ear Buds are correctly inserted. 9. A poor fit will be visible by the Earbuds being far away from the ear. No foam tip should be visible. Repeat the process until a good fit is achieved. 3 It is critical the earbuds are correctly fitted to ensure the correct level of hearing protection and communication abilities. T he Earbuds incorporate an in-ear pickup, if the Earbuds are not fitted correctly, the speech quality may be lower than expected. 4. CHARGING Your headset comes supplier with a charger. Do not attempt to use third party chargers as damage may result. The headset should be regularly charged. To charge your headset connect the charger to the headset and connect to the mains power. While charging the Right Indicator LED will be Red. When charging is complete the LED will turn Green. Note: Be sure to charge your headset fully before first use. Note:Your headset will automatically power up when the charger is connected to the headset. Charge Time:5 hours Battery Life:15 hours Your headset is powered by a built-in high capacity Lithium Ion battery.Thisis designed to last the life of your headset and should be returned to the manufacturer for replacement and servicing. Any attempt to access the battery will damage the headset. Please see accompanying smartPlug Headset Information guide for additional safety battery precautions. 4 5. POWER ON HEADSET Your headset must be powered up to use situational awareness and the communication connectivity features. Power on / off To power up your headset press and release the power button. To power off your headset press and hold the power button until the unit powers off. 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MODES Your smartPlug headset features situational awareness technology. (Speech Enhancement, Noise Suppression) allows you to be in audible contact with your surroundings while wearing your headset.

Note: See ‘Using Bluetooth’ for more information on connecting Two-Way Radios by Bluetooth. 6 8. USING BLUETOOTH 7 smartPlug Headsets also feature Bluetooth connectivity (if installed). Bluetooth enables wireless connections to some models of Two Way Radio, industrial computers, vibration analysers and most Cell phones. If Bluetooth is installed on your smartPlug, the following details apply. Default automatic connection setting:When the headset powers up, the smartPlug searches for previously paired devices. If a previously paired device is within range, it will automatically attempt to reconnect to this device. A blue light will flash slowly if a Bluetooth connection is made and you will hear a tone in the headset. Note:When entering pairing mode the smartPlug forgets all previously connected devices. Note:Bluetooth is discoverable for 2 minutes in pairing mode. If no connection has been made within this time, the process will need to be repeated.

Warning: Any changes or modifications not expressively approved by Sensear Pty. Ltd. could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for help. DOC00070 smartPlug Headset Information rev 1.0 3 FOREWORD Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance This product is designed to be used in isolation or in conjunction with your two way radio or cell phone. Before using this product with a two way radio, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your two way radio. Battery and Charging Information The internal battery is shipped with a nominal charge between 30 and 50% and should be stored between -10°C (14°F) and 30°C (86°F) to minimize permanent capacity loss.
