Product Overview

The UNIDEN BT850 is a comprehensive Bluetooth accessory kit engineered to provide wireless handsfree communication for UH850 series UHF radios, eliminating the need for wired headsets and enabling untethered operation during driving, hiking, working, or any activity requiring freedom of movement while maintaining radio contact. The kit includes three essential components working together seamlessly: a Bluetooth headset (BT35) with in-ear silicon buds providing comfortable audio reception and voice transmission, a wireless PTT (Push-To-Talk) button allowing radio transmission activation without touching the radio itself, and a Bluetooth dongle that connects to the UH850 series radio creating the wireless link between headset, PTT, and radio. The CVC (Clear Voice Capture) noise reduction technology actively filters background noise including wind, traffic, machinery, and environmental sounds ensuring clear voice communication even in noisy work environments or outdoor conditions. The headset delivers up to 6 hours continuous operating time on a single charge sufficient for full work shifts or extended outdoor activities, with USB-C charging providing convenient modern charging standards. The comfortable in-ear silicon buds with included spare set ensure long-term wearing comfort, while the adjustable ear hook accommodates left or right ear preference and different ear sizes. This complete system transforms wired radio operation into convenient wireless communication enabling users to keep radios secured in vehicles, on belts, or in packs while maintaining full communication capability through the wireless headset and PTT button.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this kit include a UHF radio, or do I need to buy one separately?

A: This is an accessory kit only and does NOT include a UHF radio. You must have a compatible UH850 series UHF radio (sold separately) for this kit to function. The kit provides the Bluetooth connectivity components (headset, wireless PTT, dongle) that connect wirelessly to your existing UH850 series UHF radio enabling handsfree operation.

Q: How does the wireless PTT button work?

A: The wireless PTT button is a separate physical button you wear on your clothing, hold in your hand, or mount conveniently accessible. When you press the button, it wirelessly signals the Bluetooth dongle connected to your radio, which activates the radio's transmit function. You hear incoming audio through the Bluetooth headset, and when you want to transmit, press the wireless PTT button while speaking into the headset microphone. This eliminates needing to touch or access your radio.

Q: What is CVC noise reduction, and how effective is it?

A: CVC (Clear Voice Capture) is digital signal processing technology that actively monitors and filters background noise including wind, traffic sounds, machinery noise, and environmental interference. While your voice is transmitted clearly, ambient noise is suppressed. The effectiveness depends on noise levels - moderate background noise (traffic, light machinery) is filtered effectively, while extremely loud environments (heavy machinery, loud music) may still allow some noise through, though significantly reduced compared to headsets without CVC.

Q: Will this work with other UNIDEN UHF radios besides UH850 series?

A: No, the BT850 is designed specifically for UH850 series radios and includes the appropriate Bluetooth dongle for that series. Other UNIDEN UHF radio models (such as XTRAK 50) require their own specific Bluetooth accessory kits with compatible dongles. Using the wrong dongle may result in incompatibility. Verify you own a UH850 series radio before purchasing this kit.

Q: How long does it take to charge, and can I use it while charging?

A: Charging times vary by component - typically 1-2 hours for full charge of headset, wireless PTT, and Bluetooth dongle. While the headset may function during charging via USB-C cable, this tethers you to the charging source defeating the wireless advantage. For best results, charge all components fully before use, and recharge after work shifts or at the end of activity days to ensure full battery capacity for next use.
