USE OF THE EPIC 3 BLUETOOTH LSM AS A LAPEL MIC
WITH A TWO-WAY PORTABLE RADIO
The BLUETOOTH LSM may be used alone as LAPEL SPEAKER MIC with a portable
two-way radio.
1. Connect the two-way radio to the lapel speaker mic. See CONNECTING
BLUETOOTH LSM TO A PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO.
2. Turn ON the portable two-way radio according to the instructions provided
with the radio. The LED on the BLUETOOTH LSM will briefly turn GREEN,
then start to blink GREEN as it searches for a paired RI VOICE AMP.
When a paired voice amplifier is not found or it has not previously been
paired to a voice amplifier, it will turn off the LED to conserve power.
3. Press the push-to-talk button on the side of the BLUETOOTH LSM and
speak into the BLUETOOTH LSM to transmit a message.

EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the RI VOICE AMP assembly becomes separated from the facepiece and is lost, the
BLUETOOTH LSM will not operate as a Lapel Mic until the pairing link is broken. To
break the pairing link, press the push-to-talk button on the side of the BLUETOOTH
LSM housing three (3) times within three (3) seconds. This will break the pairing link to
the RI VOICE AMP assembly and immediately permit normal use of the BLUETOOTH
LSM as a Lapel Mic with the attached portable two-way radio. To indicate that the
pairing link has been broken, the LED on the BLUETOOTH LSM will change to fast
blinking GREEN. Press the push-to-talk button on the side of the BLUETOOTH LSM
and speak into the BLUETOOTH LSM to transmit a message.
If the RI VOICE AMP assembly is found after breaking link, and is still ON, you may
restore the pairing link. Press the push-to-talk button on the side of the BLUETOOTH
LSM housing three (3) times within three (3) seconds. When the link is restored, both
LED’s will be solid GREEN.
If the link is not restored by this method, turn OFF both the RI VOICE AMP assembly
and the portable two-way radio and then turn them ON again. This should restore
the paring link.
If the link is still not restored, return to the PAIRING THE RI VOICE AMP WITH THE
BLUETOOTH LSM section of this instruction and pair the units again. If pairing cannot
be achieved, remove the units from service and tag for repair.
