What's in the Box?
You need one Advance Unit for each person you wish to be in communication with.
Our standard two-way communication package is shown above (A02R).
You can add up to 4 total users into a conversation.
All our Advance Units are compatible with one another.
You can add on additional users at any time by purchasing additional Advance Units (A01R).
What's Next?
Next step is to select the head accessory you wish to plug into your Advance Unit. In order to communicate, you need to plug a headset with a microphone and speaker into the Advance Unit.
Our head accessories are specially designed to plug into the Advance Unit with a secure waterproof connection. We have a selection of headset’s that are completely waterproof with IPX7 rating. We also have a selection of weather resistant products with IPX5 rating.
Lastly, if you wish to use a headset from another source, all you need is a multi-connector to keep your Advance Unit sealed from any water intrusion. (The headset from another source will not be waterproof.)
Below are the head accessories we offer.
What Makes It Waterproof?
Two elements keep the Advance Unit waterproof:
Waterproof Case
1. Our specially designed headsets with sealing knob that plugs into the unit
2. BbTALKIN proprietary waterproof microphone and speaker design keeps them working after being submerged in water.
Where Does My Advance Unit Go?
BbTALKIN offers multiple different options for where you can mount your Advance Unit. The higher the Advance Unit is mounted, the longer your range is for communication.
You can easily move your Advance Unit from one location to another. This gives the customer the option to use their Advance Unit for multiple different applications. You can mount your Advance Unit on a helmet, hat, arm band or clip.
How It Works
The Advance Unit has it’s own built in long range Bluetooth, FCC approved. Bluetooth connects by line of sight.
