(Patent No. 7,119,832) 1.5.1 The 2.4GHz VoiceLink Plus 2 Wireless Microphone allows the operator to remotely activate the Flashback DVR’s RECORD mode by pressing a button on the wireless microphone transmitter. 1.5.2 The Flashback DVR automatically activates the 2.4GHz Wireless Microphone’s transmit mode whenever the DVR is placed into the RECORD mode by any method of activation. 1.5.3 The VLP offers a vibrate mode that allows for silent notification of actions. Once the VoiceLink Plus wireless microphone transmitter is activated it can only be deactivated by stopping the RECORD function manually via the STOP button on the Flashback DVR. 1.5.4 When inserted into the charging receptacle of its base unit, the VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone transmitter synchronizes with the base through the exchange of one of more than sixteen million, randomly selected, digital spreading codes. Any other wireless microphone transmitter that may have been previously synchronized with that base will become unsynchronized. 1.5.5 Any 2.4GHz VoiceLink Plus Wireless Microphone transmitter will operate exclusively with any vehicle with which it is synchronized. Any VoiceLink Plus 2 microphone can be connected to any charging base and synchronize with that vehicle’s Flashback system. 1.5.6 Each 2.4GHz VoiceLink Plus 2 Wireless Microphone will automatically detect other systems, or RF noise, on the same frequency and change to a clear channel, as required, so that multiple vehicles can operate in very close proximity without cross talk or serious degradation of audio performance. 1.5.7 The VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone transmitter is supplied with two lavaliere microphones, one with a thirty-inch cable to allow the transmitter to be worn on an officer’s duty belt, and one with a 9inch cable to allow the transmitter to be worn in a shirt pocket. The cable connects to the transmitter via a miniature right angle connector. 1.5.8 The VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone transmitter uses an internal antenna. 1.5.9 The VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone transmitter has an internal microphone to allow audio pickup in the event that the lavaliere microphone becomes damaged or is disconnected. 1.5.10 The in-vehicle VoiceLink Plus 2 Base Unit functions as a transceiver to communicate with the wireless transmitter and as a charger to charge the lithium-ion battery within the wireless transmitter. A tricolor LED is provided on this base unit to indicate the progress of the charging process. A second LED is provided to verify synchronization between the base unit and the wireless transmitter each time the transmitter is inserted into the base unit and to confirm that communication is established whenever the transmitter is activated. 1.5.11 One charging base is provided for each wireless microphone supplied to allow charging away from vehicle. 1.5.12 The VoiceLink Plus 2 has an “Emergency” button. This feature allows the VLP microphone to sync with the vehicle’s Communications System to allow the officer to signal an emergency when the officer is away from the vehicle. Activating the emergency button will also initiate recording from the DVR 1.5.13 The 2.4GHz VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless transmitter’s lithium ion battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous transmit time, and twenty days of standby time. It will fully recharge within ninety minutes. 1.5.14 The RF power output of both the base unit and the VoiceLink Plus wireless transmitter will automatically adjust to maintain reliable communications. This assures that communication is always accomplished at the minimum necessary power levels to extend battery life while minimizing unnecessary RF radiation. 1.5.15 The VLP microphone transmitter has a 2 LED display that indicates the following information to the operator: a. Link Status / Mute b. Error 1.5.16 The VLP Microphone utilizes an integrated, removable stainless steel belt clip. 1.5.17 The VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone will clearly transmit audio and data signals for distances up to 1000 feet. 1.5.18 The VoiceLink Plus 2 wireless microphone system is FCC type accepted and is manufactured in a factory that is ISO-9000 certified. 1.5.19 The 2.4GHz VLP dimensions are: 1.77”W x .87”D x 2.36”H 1.5.20 The charging station dimensions are: 2.75”W x 2.36”D x 2.95”H 1.5.21 Miscellaneous 1.7.0 The Flashback in-car digital video recording system includes all necessary cables, fuse holders, and mounting brackets. 1.7.1 Each Flashback in-car digital video recording system is supplied with a comprehensive Installation/Programming/Operations manual. 1.7.2 Warranty 1.8.0 1.8.1 Each Flashback in-car digital video recording system is warranted by Mobile-Vision to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of delivery.
