How to Use the NNTN8127B

Charge the pod with the included micro-USB charger. If you’re using a wired earbud or earpiece, connect it to the pod, then pair the pod with the radio according to Motorola’s instructions.

Clip the pod where the PTT button is easy to reach. Test received audio and a short transmission before work. Press and hold the PTT button to speak and release it to listen. Keep the pod charged and within about 33 feet of the radio, since obstacles, interference, and placement affect performance.
