Portable Radios

The accessory connector on a SL1600/2600 portable. The connector below it is for the USB cable/travel charger.
This user can carry the radio on her equipment belt yet hear calls and speak to other users via the attached Remote Speaker Microphone.

The accessory connector allows a wide range of audio and data accessories to be connected to the radio. These include remote speaker-microphones; surveillance earpieces and programming cables. The audio accessories from one model range generally cannot be used on another model range - except if noted below.

Types of Audio Accessories

There are four basic types of audio accessories used with portable radios:

  • Remote Speaker-Microphones (RSM).
  • Surveillance Accessories.
  • Headsets.
  • Wireless Accessories (see also Bluetooth).

DP1400

The Slim Connector on a DP2600. It's possible to fit an accessory with only one hand and without any tools.

The DP1400 uses a two-pin 2,5+3,5mm connector like that which was used on previous generation radios like the CP140 and GP300. In fact the accessories from these radios can be reused on the DP1400. In the EU, accessories must be approved to work with a specific model in order to meet the RED directive and be CE.
