Motorola NNTN8125 Bluetooth Wireless Earpiece & PTT Pod Kit

Motorola NNTN8125 Operations Critical Wireless Bluetooth Earpiece and PTT Pod Kit (12-Inch Cable)

The Motorola NNTN8125 is an Operations Critical Wireless Bluetooth earpiece and push-to-talk pod kit for supported Motorola MOTOTRBO radios and the APX 900. It combines a 12-inch-cable earpiece with a wireless PTT pod, so you can talk and listen without a cable running to the radio.

Also listed as NNTN8125A, NNTN8125B, and NNTN8125C, this kit suits security, hospitality, transportation, utilities, and other professional radio users who want an accessible transmit button and discreet audio.

The kit includes the wireless pod, 12-inch earpiece, clothing clip, and micro-USB charger.

What Is the Motorola NNTN8125 Used For?

The NNTN8125 delivers radio audio at the ear and puts the transmit button on the pod. A short cable connects the earpiece to the pod, and Bluetooth connects the pod to a compatible radio. Wear the pod near a shirt pocket or lapel so the PTT control is within reach without handling the radio.

“Wireless” describes the connection to the radio. A 12-inch cable still runs between the earpiece and the pod.

Compatible Radios

Motorola documents these applications in its Operations Critical Wireless brochure and MOTOTRBO accessory catalog.

XPR 6000 Series Radios Need a Wireless Adapter

XPR 6000 series radios don’t have Bluetooth built in. Motorola specifies the PMLN5712 wireless adapter for them, designed for radio software version R01.07.00 or later. Motorola has also introduced a touch-pairing replacement adapter, the PMLN5993, so contact us with your radio model and we’ll confirm the right adapter before you order. The adapter isn’t included with the kit.

Not Compatible

• Other APX models and XTS radios. The only APX model listed is the APX 900. For other APX and XTS radios, see the Motorola NTN2571B and Mission Critical Wireless accessories.
• Radios without Bluetooth and without a supported adapter.

Bluetooth alone doesn’t establish compatibility. Confirm your exact model, enabled options, and software.

Restrictions and Requirements

• Standard pairing: This kit pairs automatically but doesn’t offer touch pairing. If your system requires touch pairing, see the NTN2570 kit.
• Range depends on conditions: Walls, vehicles, interference, and equipment placement can reduce working distance.
• IP54 is not an immersion rating. Keep the pod and charging connection dry and follow Motorola’s care instructions.
• Hazardous locations: For hazardous-location use or a required security standard, confirm approval of the complete radio-and-accessory configuration.

How to Use the NNTN8125

1. Charge the pod with the micro-USB charger.
2. Connect the earpiece and position it according to Motorola’s instructions.
3. Enable the radio’s Bluetooth function, or attach the required adapter, and complete pairing.
4. Clip the pod where the PTT button is easy to reach.
5. Test received audio and a short transmission before work.
6. Press and hold the pod’s PTT button to speak, then release it to listen.

NNTN8125 Kit vs. NNTN8127 Pod

The kit includes everything for wireless listening and talking. The NNTN8127B pod is the pod only, which suits users who want to choose their own earbud or earpiece, such as the NNTN8294.
