GUN RAIL MOUNTED WIRELESS PUSH TO TALKThe EDGE wireless push to talk was developed with the input and guidance of members of U.S. Naval Special Warfare. The requirement was to develop a wireless PTT designed to mount to a Picatinny Rail (aka MIL-STD-1913 rail, STANAG 2324 rail or tactical rail). The challenge was to develop a switch that was swimmable, had replaceable batteries and laid low, when mounted, into the rail. Furthermore, the client desired a paddle style switching mechanism rather than the competitor’s traditional box with button(s) design. The client requested a single comm (one radio) wireless PTT rather than a dual as previous missions with competitor’s dual comm wireless PTTs led to confusion in the field (wrong button being pressed under fire). Therefore, we were asked to design and manufacture a single radio wireless PTT that met all of the requirements above.

Please note, the EDGE wireless PTT does NOT pass voice or data communications from the radio. It acts as a redundant or secondary push-to-talk option to an operator’s hard-wired push to talk assembly mounted to his vest. In layman’s terms, it acts as a garage door transmitter (although significantly more sophisticated)that sends a code to the PTT assembly on the operator’s chest- subsequently opening the comms system to transmit mode. That code changes with every depression, rolling over several million times - changing each time the button is depressed. Again, the EDGE wireless push to talk was not designed to be a primary PTT to a communication headset system - it is secondary to the operator’s body worn PTT

PROPER POSITION OF THE A76 MODEL ALKALINE BATTERIES

AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERIES PROPERLY, REPLACE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LID AND MAKE CERTAIN EACH OF THE FOUR CORNERS ARE FLUSH WITH THE EDGE OF THE HOUSING PRIOR TO RE-INSERTING THE SCREWS. THIS ENSURES THE 0-RING GASKET INSIDE THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LID IS ALSO SEATED PROPERLY AROUND THE EDGES - PREVENTING DUST AND WATER INGRESS. THE SWITCH IS RATED IP67 - 3 FEET OF WATER FOR 30 MINUTES. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER-TORQUE THE SCREWS WHEN TIGHTENING DOWN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LID.

PHOTO DEPICTS PROPERLY POSITIONED AND SEATED BATTERY COMPARTMENT LID WITH THE TORX SCREWS TIGHTENED DOWN PROPERLY. WHEN YOUR BATTERIES ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LID IS SEATED FIRMLY IN PLACE - THE RED LIGHT WILL ACTIVATE - INDICATING PROPER BATTERY POSITIONING. SIMPLY DEPRESS THE PTT SWITCH ONCE AND THE LIGHT WILL SWITCH OFF

PERIODICALLY REMOVE YOUR “EDGE” SWITCH FROM THE CARRIER AND TURN IT OVER IN YOUR HAND TO THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE SWITCH. PRESS THE BOTTOM PAIRING BUTTON AND HOLD. IF THE RED LIGHT COMES ON STEADY - THE BATTERY LIFE IS STILL GOOD. IF THE RED LIGHT BLINKS - THIS INDICATES BATTERY LIFE IS BELOW 20% AND BATTERIES SHOULD BE CHANGED.

PAIRING THE “EDGE” WIRELESS PTT WITH YOUR BODY-WORN PTT CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY. PLACE YOUR HEADSET ON YOUR HEAD, CONNECT THE HEADSET TO YOUR BODY-WORN PTT AND THEN CONNECT THE PTT BOX WITH RADIO CONNECTOR TO YOUR PORTABLE RADIO (MAKE CERTAIN THE RADIO IS OFF). NOW, TURN THE RADIO ON, LAY YOUR “EDGE” PTT ON YOUR BODY-WORN PTT ASSEMBLY AS SHOWN AND PRESS THE BOTTOM PAIRING BUTTON ON THE WIRELESS SWITCH AND IMMEDIATELY RELEASE. THERE MAY BE A SHORT DELAY UNTIL YOU HEAR A SERIES OF 3 BEEPS IN YOUR LEFT EAR. THIS INDICATES YOUR “EDGE” WIRELESS AND BODY-WORN PTT ARE NOW PAIRED. NOTE: PAIRING MUST TAKE PLACE WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF TURNING ON YOUR RADIO. NOTE YOUR PTT BOX ASSEMBLY MAY LOOK DIFFERENT THAN PICTURED BELOW

EACH “EDGE” WIRELESS PTT INCLUDES ONE 1/8” AND 1/16” THICK RUBBER SHIM TO ATTACH TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE RAIL MOUNT SWITCH CARRIER. THESE MAY NOT BE REQUIRED BUT DUE TO SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN PICATINNY RAILS, WE HAVE CHOSEN TO INCLUDE THEM TO ENSURE THE RAIL MOUNTED CARRIER LIES FIRMLY IN POSITION WHEN MOUNTED. AFTER YOU’VE DETERMINED IF YOU NEED A SHIM AND WHAT SIZE, PEEL THE ADHESIVE PAPER OFF THE BACKSIDE OF THE SHIM AND PLACE IN POSITION ON TOP OF THE BACK SIDE OF THE RAIL MOUNT CARRIER AND PRESS FIRMLY IN PLACE.

DEPRESS AND RELEASE THE PAIRING BUTTON - LISTEN FOR TONES IN YOUR LEFT EAR - THIS INDICATES THE WIRELESS

SWITCH AND YOUR BODY WORN PTT BOX HAVE BEEN PROPERLY PAIRED WITH ONE ANOTHER
