The BlueLink-K Bluetooth Adapter attaches directly to your two-way radio. Allows you to use a compatible wireless Bluetooth headsets or other audio accessory with your two-way radio for hands free operation. Comes with a recharging cable. Features a multifunction Talk Switch used to place the Bluelink Adapter in pairing mode. Once paired with an audio accessory, the switch is used to activate the Push-To-talk function of the two way radio. Doesn't work with hearing aids.
Non-Kenwood Radios: If you are using a non-Kenwood radio, you may need to modify the accessory port. We have found that some non-Kenwood radios have extra plastic around the accessory port that does not allow the Bluelink-K connector pins to be completely insert which will hamper proper function of the send and receive.

These brands of Bluetooth earpieces work best with our BlueLink adapters:
- Plantronics
- Jabra
- Jawbone
- Blue Parrot
- SENA.
When choosing a Bluetooth headset you should choose one that has the following features:
- Bluetooth version 2.1 or newer.
- The longest Talk Time possible. When looking at battery life specifications for headsets, the Talk Time will give you a rough estimate of how long the battery in the headset will operate before needing to be recharged, when connect to the radio adapter.
- Headsets that have Digital Signal Processing (DSP) features will typically sound better than those that do not. Note that because the headset is being kept in a constant on-call state, it is normal to hear some noise in the headset when no signal I being received by the radio. This noise is often described as a slight buzz, hum or an occasional popping sound. This noise should not interfere with normal communications and should not be present when a signal is actively being received.
