1WelcomeCongratulations, and thank you for choosing FreeLinc products to enhance your two-way radio communications.The FreeLinc DualMu Headset uses cutting-edge Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) wireless technology. NFMI supports mobility, freedom-of-motion, exceptionalbattery life, audio integrity, ease of use, durability, secure communications andcomfort.

2IntroductionProduct OverviewThe FreeLinc DualMu Headset works within a small area surrounding the user. The size of the area is determined by the distance between your headset and the adapter. If your headset and adapter are close together, the area shrinks in diameter – just large enough to accommodate the range of communication between your headset and adapter. As you increase the distance between your headset and adapter, the size of the area surrounding the user expands accordingly, up toapproximately ve feet in diameter.Package ContentsFreeLinc FDM300 DualMu HeadsetWall chargerTote bagWindsock

8Operating Concepts and TermsPairingBefore your headset can communicate with an adapter, it must establish a link. To establish a link, your headset and adapter must exchange a randomly generated software ID code, which is stored in each device. This process is called “pairing.” Your headset and adapter remain paired until you initiate the manual pairing sequence with a dierent adapter (see Step Four: Pair Headset to Adapter under Using Your Headset for the First Time). pg11Seek ModeWhen your headset is trying to establish a link by searching for an adapter, it will initially enter “Seek Mode.” If it does not detect the adapter with which it has been paired, the headset will remain in Seek Mode for 60 minutes before powering down.
9LinkingAfter entering Seek Mode and nding the adapter with which it is paired, your headset will establish a link, and communication can occur. This link will remain active until you turn o the adapter or radio, at which point the headset will return to Seek Mode.Turn On/O Your Headset To turn on/o your headset, Turn Volume knob clockwise until you feel a click. The Status Indicator light on the inside of the cup will light Green or Red when powered on.Low Battery When the LiPo Rechargable battery is low, your headset will sound a repeating short tone every 5 minutes after each transmission is sent, indicating that the battery should be charged soon. (10-30hr of talk time remaining). Your headset will automatically turn o when the battery is fully discharged. Operating Concepts and Terms
10Getting StartedUsing Your Headset for the First TimeStep One: Attach AdapterAttach your FreeLinc adapter to the accessory interface of your portable radio (see your portable radio’s user manual if you need assistance locating the accessory interface). If your adapter has a mounting clip on top, use the clip and locking screw to secure the adapter to your radio. If your adapter does not have a mounting clip, use the thumb screw to secure it to your radio. When properly attached, the spring-loaded pins will align with the contacts on the accessory interface of your portable radio and the adapter should t securely.Step Two: Turn On AdapterTurn on your portable radio and set the toggle switch to “ON.” This will automatically silence the speaker on your portable radio and route all communications to your headset.
11Getting StartedStep Three: Turn On Your HeadsetTo turn on your headset turn the On/O Volume Knob clockwise until you feel a click. The On/O Indicator light will illuminate red indicating your headset has powered up. Once you turn on your headset, it automatically enters Seek Mode (see Seek Mode under Operating Concepts and Terms). pg8Step Four: Pair Headset to AdapterWhen you take your headset out of the box the rst time, it may be necessary to manually pair it with an adapter. To initiate manual pairing, turn on your headset and hold it within 10 inches of the adapter and press the Pairing button located inside the cup for three seconds. When you have successfully paired your headset to the adapter, the adapter indicator light and the headset Status Indicator Light will ash green, indicating a successful pairing.CAUTION: When pairing, make sure that there are no other FreeLinc products within 6 feet of the devices being paired.
12Getting StartedStep Five: Establish Link (Automatic)Once you pair your headset to an adapter, the two devices establish a communication link. This occurs automatically after pairing, and the link persists as long as your headset remains within the communication area. If you move your headset outside the dened area, the link is lost and the unit returns to Seek Mode. While in Seek Mode, your headset attempts to locate the adapter to which it is paired. The adapter indicator light will ash red and will persist until the unit exits Seek Mode by either:• Re-establishing the link with the adapter with which it is paired - when this occurs the adapter indicator light will ash green. OR• Powering down - this occurs when no link is established for 60 minutes.
13Additional InformationPairing Your Headset with Other AdaptersManually Initiating the Pairing ProcessTo initiate manual pairing, hold your headset close to the adapter and press the paring button in the earcup of your headset for three seconds. The adapter indicator light will ash solid green indicating a successful pairing. You can repeat this process at any time to break the existing pairing and establish a new pairing with any other adapter. Keep in mind that your headset can only be paired with one adapter at a time. CAUTION: When pairing, make sure that there are no other FreeLinc products within 6 feet of the devices being paired.

15Additional InformationFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat happens if I go out of range and lose the link between my headset and my adapter? When your headset is out of range of the adapter, the headset will beep and the indicator light on the adapter will blink red. To re-establish the link, move your headset within range of the adapter. The adapter indicator light will resume ashing green.Will my headset communicate with more than one adapter at a time? No. When your headset and adapter are paired they exchange a unique and individual ID. This exchange ensures that communication occurs only between the linked headset and adapter.
16Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to modify my radio in any way for my headset or adapter to work? No. The only requirement is that the FreeLinc adapter must t on your radio model. For a complete list of the radio models FreeLinc supports, please refer to the FreeLinc website at www.freelinc.com.What happens if I lose my headset and need to use my radio to communicate with others?
