Using the Black Ops 2
1. Plug the throat mic into the PTT/VOX splitter (E) using the mini
DIN connectors (D). Be sure to align the indicators when
connecting the mini DIN.
2. Plug the 3.5mm pin of the adaptor wire for your radio or phone
into the PTT/VOX splitter. If you would like to use a PTT, plug into
adaptor into jack (H) and the PTT into the PTT jack (J). If you will
be using the VOX function on your radio or phone, plug into
adaptor jack (I). Plug the other end of the adaptor into your radio
or phone.
3. Place neck band around your neck. Position the transponder (A)
so that it sits flush to your neck. Due to variances in human anato-
my, the position of the transponder may require adjustment for
maximum performance.
4. Your throat mic is now operational.
Using the PTT and VOX
The Black Ops 2’s default transmission mode is VOX. To use VOX
mode, make sure your VOX-enabled radio or phone is set to VOX.
Simply start speaking to activate transmission.
All versions of the Black Ops 2 (except adaptors for mobile phones
and PC) can be used with any of IASUS Concepts’ original PTT
switches. The splitter also has a PTT button. To transmit, simply
press the button on the splitter or PTT and talk. To receive, release
the button.
USE and Care
For best transmission quality when using the Black Ops 2, place the
transponder about 0.5 - 1 inch on either side of your larynx/voice
box. Optimal transponder position on the neck will vary between
individuals.
The Black Ops 2’s neck strap is adjustable. To increase the diameter
of the strap, simply adjust the neckband at the clips. Reverse the
direction to decrease the diameter.
While the Black Ops 2 is highly water resistant, it is not waterproof.
Do not immerse it in water.
The transponder is highly sensitive. Do not apply pressure to the
inside face of the transponder.
Caution
Do not operate your device at high volume levels when using the Black Ops 2.
Hearing experts advise against continuous exposure to high volume levels. If
you experience ringing in your ears, discontinue use If using the Black Ops 2 in
a noisy environment, we strongly recommend using a single earplug in the ear
opposite the earpiece to safeguard your hearing.
