Motorola RMN5104A - How do I use it?

[foxtrot5]

I got one that was left on a HT1000 that I picked up but the previous owner said "Oh, that thing, I have no idea what it does." So far my research says that it's some kind of bluetooth accessory and it allegedly connects to just about any bluetooth headset. Can anyone provide aditional information and/or an actual product manuel for this thingy?


It only has the part that attaches to the radio, there are no additional headsets or anything else.

Google is your friend. It's a Bluetooth adapter:

tried it. linked me to a radio reference forum page with no practical information and a phone number for a sales/service rep from the big M who was more interested in selling me a newer bluetooth thingy then helping me with this one. :sadcry:

Yeah, I got that far... I'm looking for how it works/how to use it.

Doh! Sorry, I should have read more closely before I jumped on the reply.


Try asking over at the Batboard forums, if anyone can tell you, they can. Here's an old thread where they discussed it: RMN5104 Bluetooth adapter for XTS/HT1000/MTS Radios + review

PAIRING YOUR AUDIO DEVICE


First time connection steps:

powered ON (First time only: Once the wireless device is


powered ON, it goes into Pairing Mode automatically.)


3. Ensure that device is in pairing mode (refer to Table3 on


page9).


4. Both the wireless device and wireless adapter must be


within pairing range (recommended pairing range is within 1


meter).


5. Paired Successfully indication is provided upon successful


pairing (refer to Table3 on page9) and a tone is heard on


the audio device’s speaker indicating a connection request.


6. Press the PTT button on the wireless device to start


connection process.


7. The wireless device connects to the radio upon completion


of the connection process.

It would appear that this only works with the wireless adapter PMLN5712.

You happen to have a link to a .pdf that you got that from or anything like that? Would be most appreciated. Otherwise I'm off to my local M guy who's a dick.

I pulled that off of the docs on my MOL (Motorola OnLine) account. I had to look at the document for the PMLN5712 to get the info.


I can link it, but unless you have an account the link won't work.

Thanks anyway, but no MOL account.


As an update, I managed to get the thing to link with the bluetooth I normally use for my PS3 (some cheap crap from Gamestop). Audio receive quality is equal to or better than the standard radio speaker but audio output is a hair too quiet. I'm going to try to get it to link with another bluetooth if I get my hands on one.
