Motorola PMLN8792A - EP900e Wireless Bluetooth Earpiece with PTT

The Motorola EP900e Bluetooth Earpiece (PMLN8792A) is a wireless earpiece with a push-to-talk button on its microphone boom, made for Bluetooth-enabled MOTOTRBO two-way radios. It suits security staff and event teams who want radio audio without a cable to the radio. It gives up to 8 hours of talk time on a 5/5/90 duty cycle from a 2-hour charge.

Why Teams Choose the EP900e

The EP900e is Motorola’s current Bluetooth earpiece for MOTOTRBO radios. It replaces the EP900w (PMLN7851A) and has a longer standby time of 35 hours in LMR mode.

• No Cable between Radio and Ear - The earpiece connects over Bluetooth 4.2 LE, so there is no coiled lead to catch on clothing, door handles or vehicle fittings
• Fast PTT - The PTT button sits on the microphone boom, so the user can key the radio without reaching for it
• Audible and Visual Status - Voice prompts and an LED indicator show the earpiece’s status without the user looking at the radio
• Controls on the Earpiece - A multi-function button, volume up and down, and PTT sit on the earpiece itself
• No Accidental Transmissions - The EP900e has no VOX, so it only transmits when the PTT button is pressed

How the EP900e Wireless Earpiece Works with your Radio

The EP900e pairs with a Bluetooth-enabled MOTOTRBO radio over Bluetooth 4.2 LE. Radio audio plays in the earpiece, so the radio can stay on a belt or under a jacket, and the user presses the PTT button on the boom to talk. The noise-cancelling microphone sits close to the mouth, which helps the user be heard on loud sites.

Battery life is up to 8 hours of talk time on a 5/5/90 duty cycle, which means 5% transmitting, 5% receiving and 90% on standby. A full charge from the supplied micro-USB cable takes about 2 hours.

Who the EP900e Suits

The EP900e suits anyone who carries a MOTOTRBO radio all shift and needs to talk without unclipping it. That includes door supervisors, security patrols, event crews and site supervisors, as well as hotel and retail teams who don’t want a visible cable in front of customers.

It is not intrinsically safe, so it must not be used in ATEX hazardous areas.
