Daptor Two

Wireless Phone Adaptor

User Guide

JK Audio

Description

Simply plug Daptor Two into the 2.5 mm headset
jack of any wireless cell phone that accepts a third
party headset or earpiece. You can now send and
receive audio from your mixer or tape recorder
through the cell phone.

Your cell phone will recognize Daptor Two as a
headset which will disable the mic and speaker in
the cell phone. Since Daptor Two replaces the
headset, you will need to provide a microphone and
microphone preamplifier, and a headphone ampli­fier and headphones to allow conversation to con­tinue.

Connection

Connect the enclosed audio adapter cord between
Daptor Two and your wireless phone’s headset
jack. Your wireless phone should now recognize
Daptor Two as a headset and disable the phone’s
mic and earpiece.

Now connect either the XLR
or 1/4” input and output to
your mixer or tape recorder.
You may use either the XLR
input or 1/4" input, not both. The XLR input jack is
disconnected when a cable is plugged into the
1/4" input jack. The same is true for the XLR and
1/4" output jacks.

Note: Wireless phones generate substantial radio
frequency (RF) noise during a call which can eas­ily leak into microphone cables, headphone ca­bles, even your audio equipment. Be sure to keep
the wireless phone one to two feet from any mixer
or tape recorder. It is also important to keep the
wireless adapter cord away from any other audio
cords.

Connection

Daptor Two will provide the highest quality con­nection possible between your audio equipment
and cellular telephone. However, due to the un­predictable nature of wireless telephone service
we cannot guaranty excellent audio quality every
time Daptor Two is used. Audio quality is still
mostly dependent upon the connection provided
by your wireless telephone service.

As a general rule, the better the cell phone signal,
the better your audio quality will be. If your wire­less phone signal is weak, most phones try to
compensate by increasing their output signal.
This can degrade your audio quality by generating
excessive RF noise. If this happens, make sure to
keep the phone as far away from audio equipment
and cables as possible.

You should also keep in mind that most wireless
telephones have their own level controls. If you
are having level problems that cannot be cor­rected with the controls on your equipment, try
adjusting the volume on the wireless telephone
itself.

Compatibility

Wireless Phone Compatibility

This product was designed to take advantage of
the increasing number of wireless phones that ac­cept third party headsets and earpiece headsets.
While some wireless phones have the 2.5 mm
jack directly on the phone, others require a head­set adapter which converts their proprietary con­nector into the 2.5 mm jack. JK Audio does not
supply these adapters. You must contact your
wireless dealer or your local electronics store to
purchase these adapters.

We’ve designed a circuit which emulates the elec­trical characteristics of these headsets. Daptor
Two should work with all wireless phones that ac­cept generic third party headsets. However with
the increasing number of new telephones on the
market and their individual headset characteris­tics, we cannot guaranty that Daptor Two will work
with every wireless phone available.

FAQ’s

? Will Daptor Two work with my model ____

cell phone?

! As long as your wireless phone has a 2.5 mm

earpiece jack and accepts a generic 3rd party
earpiece or headset, you should be OK.

? What if my phone does not have a 2.5 mm

earpiece/ headset jack?

! Many phone manufacturers sell an adapter

that allows connection of a 2.5 mm plug. You
can often find these adapters where you pur­chased your phone or in electronics stores.

? Can I talk on my handheld phone and re-

cord the conversation using a Daptor Two?

! No, most phones detect the presence of any-

thing plugged into the headset jack and imme­diately disable the phones microphone and
speaker.

? Can I send and receive audio at the same

time?

! Yes, but be aware that on most phones, what-

ever audio you send into the phone will come
back mixed with the receive audio.
