OVERVIEW
The Cellular Response Console™ (CRC)
is an easy-to-use, versatile system primarily
designed for crisis and hostage negotiations.
The CRC is also the perfect tool to use for
kidnapping investigations, pretext calls, or any
other law enforcement use where recording or
supervisory monitoring is beneficial.
The two methods for connecting a cell
phone to the CRC are via Bluetooth
technology or via the supplied cables. Pairing
®
the CRC using Bluetooth
wireless technology
is secure and provides excellent audio quality,
making it the recommended method to connect
your cell phone. (See
®
by BLUETOOTH
Wireless Technology , page 6).
Cell Phone Connectivity
The CRC may also be connected directly to cell
phones using one of the supplied cables. (See
Cell Phone Connectivity by Cable, page 8).
®
wireless
Once a cell phone is connected to the
CRC, calls are placed using the cell phone
menus. With the primary negotiator now on a
headset, the conversation is routed through the
CRC. The negotiations can now be monitored
by additional personnel.

SET UP
Jack #1: The primary negotiator’s headset (AA) should
always be attached first. By attaching the headset
first, it allows the call to be placed quickly or be
available immediately when connecting a cell phone
during a call. The mic on the primary negotiator’s
headset is muted by the MIC MUTE switch on the
panel. This allows for the negotiator and coach to
talk without being heard by the barricaded person.
The VOLUME knob controls the volume for
only.
Jack #2: The 2.5mm/3.5mm or the 3.5mm/3.5mm
cord is inserted here when connecting to the CRC
via cable. Do NOT use the coiled cord to connect a
cell phone to the CRC. (See
By Cable, page 8
.)
Cell Phone Connectivity
Jack #3: This is a listen-only jack to be used with one
of the headphones (
B) with in-line volume controls.
Jack #4: There are two recorder jacks available. To
record the conversation, connect the digital audio
recorder (
E) using the supplied coiled cord (FF).
Jack #1
Jack #5: Two listen-only jacks are provided for
additional personnel.
Jack #6: The command speaker (CC) has its own
volume control and may be wired out with the
25’ cord (
D). To prevent feedback, the command
speaker should NOT be placed near the console.
Jack #7: The cell phone CHARGER jack can be used
to recharge the cell phone. Use the DC recharging
cord compatible with the cell phone you are using.

CELL PHONE CONNECTIVITY BY
BLUETOOTH
Most cell phones are Bluetooth
technology enabled and can be paired with
the Cellular Response Console without any
cable attachment. It is recommended that CRC
operators practice using different phones as
they may be called upon to pair a cell phone
in the middle of a call. (See
page 7).
If a first responder or other personnel has
made contact with a barricaded person prior to
the arrival of the CRC, that call can be routed
through the CRC without hanging up the existing
call.

CELL PHONE
CONNECTIVITY BY CABLE
Most cell phones feature an input to attach a
headset using a 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack. Two cables are
provided with the CRC: 1) A 2.5mm right-angle plug on
one end and a 3.5mm plug on the other; and 2) A 3.5mm
plug on both ends. One end plugs into your cell phone,
the other end into the CRC in the jack labeled CELL. (See
Jack #2 pictured on page 4.) The audio will now be routed
to the primary negotiator’s headset.
When the internal battery for the CRC is below
normal operating level, the LOW BATTERY light begins
to flash. Locate a 110-240 volt AC wall outlet and attach
the supplied transformer to recharge the internal battery.
The vehicle charging cord (12 volt DC) may be used if an
AC power source is not available.
The best way to maintain the rechargeable battery
in your CRC is to keep the unit plugged into an AC outlet
at all times when it is being stored. The charging cord
plugs into the right side of the case and the unit may be
stored with the cover closed.
