Motorola NTN8988A CommPort Ear Straps (10 Pack) for CommPort Ear Mic & Mission Critical Wireless Earpieces

Motorola NTN8988A CommPort Ear Straps (10 Pack) for CommPort Ear Mic & Mission Critical Wireless Earpieces

The Motorola NTN8988A (also sold as the NTN8988) is a genuine Motorola 10-pack of replacement ear straps for Motorola’s CommPort ear microphone system and Mission Critical wireless earpieces. Each strap loops over the ear and holds the earpiece securely in place, so it stays seated through running, climbing, bending and wearing gear. In the CommPort system, the earpiece is both the speaker and the microphone, so a secure fit means clear transmit and receive audio. Straps stretch, crack and get lost over time, and the 10-pack keeps a department or crew supplied for a long time.

It’s used by firefighters, SWAT and tactical teams, police officers, EMS crews and industrial users wearing Motorola CommPort and wireless earpiece systems.

How the NTN8988A Is Used

1. Remove the old strap from the earpiece if it’s stretched, cracked or loose.
2. Attach the new NTN8988A strap to the earpiece.
3. Put the earpiece in or on your ear, then loop the strap over the top of your ear.
4. Adjust for a snug fit. The earpiece should stay seated when you turn your head, bend or run.
5. Connect the earpiece to your CommPort PTT cable or body switch, or to your wireless PTT pod, and check your audio.

Why replace ear straps? A loose earpiece can pull out of your ear during a call or move enough to garble your transmissions. In a CommPort system the microphone is in the earpiece, so a worn strap affects what others hear from you, not just what you hear. Replace straps when they lose tension, crack, discolor, or when an earpiece goes to a new user.
