Overview

Introducing the BlueSet.
These headset interfaces plug directly into most Party- Line (PL) belt packs, replacing the wired headset. A 3.5 mm stereo headset jack contains a mic level output signal suitable for recording, with the beltpack headphone signal on
the left channel, and the Bluetooth return signal on the right. A switch selects between connection to a 3rd party Bluetooth headset or a cell phone.

• Headset Connect : Leave your belt pack on the desk as you walk around the room. Some Bluetooth headsets allow you to switch between two phones, or in this case, switch between your intercom and your cell phone.
• Phone Connect: Pair BlueSet to your cell phone to grant remote access to the Party-Line for a distant member. The belt pack Mic/Talk button controls audio from the cell phone into the intercom system.
• Headset Compatibility: Female and Male XLR four and five pin versions available: BlueSet-F4, BlueSet-F5, BlueSet-M4, BlueSet-M5.

   if you will be using your BlueSet with a Bluetooth-enabled headset or any device that emulates a headset. BlueSet will first attempt to connect using the Hands-Free Profile. If the Hands-Free Profile is not available, BlueSet will attempt to connect using the A2DP stereo streaming Profile. Select if you will be using your BlueSet with a cell phone or other master device. Please note that wireless phones typically cannot receive A2DP stereo audio streaming.

   BlueSet should be fully charged before its first use. While this battery will normally charge in about 2 ½ hours, please allow 4-5 hours for this first charge, or until the LED turns off.
   Connect the USB cable to the mini USB connector on your BlueSet and a USB power source to charge the battery. The red LED will flash to indicate that the battery is charging, once charging is complete, the LED will turn off.
   If the battery becomes completely discharged for an extended period of time, the red LED will not flash until it can begin its charge cycle. This may take several minutes.
   If the USB cable is connected when the unit is shut down, the blue LED will stay lit. If the unit is in use, the blue LED will indicate the current connect mode. Feel free to use your BlueSet while it is charging.

4. Recording Output
   A 3.5 mm stereo output jack contains a mic level signal suitable for recording, with the clean mic signal on the left channel and the Bluetooth return audio on the right.
   Mic Trim
   A small flat blade screwdriver can be used to adjust the pot on the back of the unit. This adjusts the level of the audio coming from the microphone as it is sent to the Bluetooth enabled device and to the recording output.
