Motorola NTN2572A Wireless Earpiece, 12" Cable, Over-the-Ear, for NTN2571B & NNTN8127B PTT Pods

The Motorola NTN2572A (also sold as the NTN2572) is Motorola’s genuine over-the-ear earpiece with a 12-inch cable for its Bluetooth wireless PTT pods. It is the replacement earpiece for Motorola’s NTN2570C Mission Critical and NNTN8125 Operations Critical wireless earpiece kits. The earpiece plugs into the pod with a proprietary 2.5mm connector and delivers clear radio audio in loud environments. The pod handles Bluetooth and push-to-talk, so you get hands-free radio audio with no cord to the radio. It’s lightweight, comfortable and durable for all-day wear, and FM Approved and intrinsically safe.

It’s built for police officers, firefighters, EMS crews and public safety users who need to replace a worn earpiece or add a second earpiece to their wireless pod.

How the NTN2572A Is Charged

1. Plug a micro USB charger into a wall outlet. Motorola’s kits include the PS000228A01 micro USB power supply.
2. Connect it to the pod’s micro USB port and charge until full. The NTN2571B pod runs about 10 hours on a charge.
3. Plug the NTN2572A into the pod, pair the pod with your radio and you’re ready.
