Introduction and General Information
Congratulations, and thank you for choosing
the FreeLinc FreeMic 200 wireless product to
enhance your two-way radio communications.
The FreeMic 200 uses cutting-edge Near-Field
Magnetic Induction communication (NFMI)
wireless technology. NFMI supports mobility,
freedom-of-motion, exceptional battery life,
audio integrity, ease-of-use, durability, secure
communications, and comfort. This is the first
technology of its kind to be implemented into
practical voice and audio solutions for two-way
radios.
The FreeMic 200 operates in a “bubble” that
envelops one to three meters of each user’s
personal space, and is – by the laws of physics
– fully private and secure. The result is the ability
to eliminate the restrictive and hazardous cable,
without sacrificing reliable and secure commu
nications. Additionally, with NFMI, signals are
-
designed to propagate only within a two-me
ter range, enabling a huge power and battery
advantage (up to six times) over standard RF
technology.
We are confident that you will immediately
experience the benefit of using innovative
FreeLinc products for your two-way radio trans
missions. As the pioneer in wireless push-to-talk
communications, we thank you for choosing
FreeLinc.
