Description General The CT-ClipCom Digital is a binaural communication system for use with radio equipment. The PTT buttons (PTT=push-to-talk) of the system are used to transmit PTT commands to the radio unit or similar communication systems. The following two system configurations are available: CT-ClipCom Digital ear microphone consisting of one ear microphones plus one earphone, a PTT transmit button, and an optional CT-Wireless-PTT CT-ClipCom Digital gooseneck microphone consisting of one earphone plus one earphone with gooseneck microphone, a PTT transmit button, and an optional CT-Wireless-PTT The earphones/ear microphones are electro-acoustic transducers, used either as microphones (for transmitting) or earphones (for receiving), worn in the ear with individually formed ear moulds. The system is optionally equipped with ambient sound reception (ASR) for both sides. Power is normally provided by the radio unit. The components of the CT-ClipCom Digital are supplied either firmly connected or with plug-type connectors.

You can speak as long as you keep the transmit button depressed. Let the transmit button go in order to switch the radio unit or communication device back to standby/receiving (hearing). CT-ClipCom Digital ear microphone Radio messages and ringing tone of a cellular phone are heard on both sides. In case a PTT transmit button is actuated or a communication is via a cellular phone, the ear microphone in the right ear switches from earphone to microphone operation. Consequently, the ambient sound reception (ASR) of this CT-ClipCom Digital is not active. The DNR electronics (Digital Noise Reduction) filter and eliminate optional ambient noise from the voice signal. CT-ClipCom Digital gooseneck microphone During activation of the PTT transmit button, ambient sound reception is active on both sides. The noise cancelling gooseneck microphone works without DNR function. 4. Safekeeping – storage After use, keep the cleaned devices in a clean and dry place at normal room temperature and at normal relative air humidity. 5. Maintenance 5.1 Visual inspections Check the CT-ClipCom Digital and particularly the cables and connectors periodically for signs of fractures, cracks and wear. Check ear moulds and earphones/ear microphones after every use for pollution. Pollution can be the cause for skin irritation and malfunction. 5.2 Cleaning ATENTION! When cleaning, make sure that no moisture penetrates inside the device. Do not use any solvents (e.g. benzine, alcohol, sterilizing agents, etc.). After cleaning, keep earphones/ear microphones unpacked until completely dry. Obstructed sound channels of ear moulds and ear plugs cause poor communication in transmitting (speaking) and reception (hearing). For periodical cleaning of components we recommend special cleaning tissues (see chapter 6). Clean the contacts of connectors with a commonly available contact cleaning agent.
11 Ear moulds and Earphones Obstructed sound channels of ear moulds and earphones cause poor reception. For regular cleaning (after every use) we recommend the use of special antiseptic cleaning tissues (see item 6), an appropriate cleaning spray, or soft clean cloths and pure water with some dishwashing liquid. Do not use solvents for cleaning purposes. For a basic cleaning of ear moulds we recommend a cleaning bath once a week (effervescent tablets; e.g. Detax Smarttabs). 5.3 Changing the protective cover of the gooseneck microphone Check the protective foam cover periodically for pollution, wear and deformation and replace it, if necessary. It can be easily pulled off the microphone. 5.4 Changing the battery of the optional CT-Wireless-PTT 1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the CT-Wireless-PTT using the opening tool TKZ: 4008011 by a swift left turn. 2. Cautiously remove the circuit board from the housing. Change the battery minding correct polarity; lettering must be visible. Use 3-V batteries type CR2032 only ATENTION Mind correct polarity! ATENTION Batteries may not be disposed off in the domestic waste! 1 3. When closing the CT-Wireless-PTT put a new sealing ring under the lid, if necessary. Place the lid notches into the guides in the housing and lock the lid with a right turn. Make sure lid and housing have a tight fit. 2 circuit board touch-lamina sealing ring lid
