Some accessories, which are great options in optimizing communications include:
Having a working charger on hand ensures that your two way radios are always charged and ready for use. Multi-unit chargers, however, allow for the consolidation of a team’s two-way radios. Rather than utilizing several single-unit chargers, which take up more outlet space, a multi-unit charger enables multiple radios to be charged at the same time and accounted for.
2-Wire Surveillance Kit Earpiece
For more discrete communications, this 2-wire earpiece is a great option. Simply connect to the radio, lace the wire through your shirt and clip the earpiece to your collar. Lastly, wrap the clear coil around your ear. A memory foam ear-tip is included in order for this earpiece to form to the ear canal. This accessory is not only discrete, but is also comfortable. When properly cleaned, teams can utilize different memory foam ear-tips and share these accessories with others on their team.
Speaker microphones are great options for those within industries such as retail, education, and manufacturing, when quick relay of messages is necessary but the team needs to operate hands-free.
Though they may seem insignificant, a two way radio belt clip is one of the most important features, which allow for a hands-free communications system. Connecting to the two way radio, belt clips allow users to connect the radio to their belt while attaching other accessories for use.
Replacement batteries are probably the most valuable accessory to have on hand for your two-way radio system. As batteries age, they lose power more quickly. Having extras will ensure that you never lose communication with your team for extended periods of time. Two Way Direct offers a cost-effective solution for two way radio replacement batteries with their TWD brand. The TWD-BL1719 is the model for the TC508 two-way radio. These TWD brand batteries not only offer comparable quality and fit but they tend to possess even longer life. They also come with a preassembled belt clip for quick use.
