General remarks
Many kinds of Bluetooth Headsets are available on the market. They all are designed for use together with
cellular phones with Bluetooth
allows to connect any standard Bluetooth headset for private and professional 2-way radios, like ALBRECHT-,
MIDLAND PMR 446 or ALAN commercial hand held radios. In all cases, the other Bluetooth Device (can be a
Headset or GPS navigator) will regard our adapter as a "Mobile phone".
System Requirements
The headset must support the BT Standard Headset Protocol. Besides standard headsets and Bluetooth
motor bike helmets there are also some Bluetooth handsfree kits for car installation on the market, which
support different protocols, like the Bluetooth Handsfree Protocol. Because this is different from the Headset
protocol, such more sophisticated handsfree systems must be able to be adapted by software switching to the
headset protocol, otherwise they cannot be used with the ALBRECHT adapter. Please read the instruction
manuals or better consult the distributor of the headset/ handsfree set.

damage the device or the Li-Ion battery inside. Never open the adapter, the charging device or
try to change or even open the lithium battery by yourself! Any manipulation at the Li-Ion battery,
such as short circuits etc, may cause fire or even explosion and severe injuries to persons.
Charging the Adapter with 230 V AC
Charging starts the moment the wall charger is connected with the adapter. 1.5 to 2.5 hours are being needed
to fully charge a completely empty adapter. The LED indicator light gives you information of the state of
charging (red is flashing = charging, red off = battery full). When the battery becomes empty during use,
the red LED will start flashing from time to time.

(the smaller one).

Connecting the Adapter with a Bluetooth
Your system of adapter and headset can establish a connection that protects you from eaves-dropping. To do
so the system needs information to identify your headset as its exclusive partner. This procedure is called
„pairing". This is very important because you don`t want any other headsets in your vicinity to coincidentally be
connected with your radio or vice versa.
You have to start this pairing process with fully charged adapter and headset. It is necessary to switch the
adapter off before pairing. If You are not sure, switch the adapter off by the already described procedure.
For the headset side, please read about the pairing process in the instruction manual of the headset.
