Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hytera EHM18-A compatible with all Hytera radios?

No. Hytera uses several accessory connectors for different radio series. Before purchasing, check the exact radio model and the connector of the specific EHM18-A version.

What does the headset's PTT button do?

PTT or Push-to-Talk button switches the radio to transmit mode when pressed. After speaking, release the button to listen to other users.

How does the VOX function work?

VOX allows a compatible and properly configured radio to start transmitting when it detects the user's voice. Sensitivity and delay depend on the radio's programming and ambient noise.

Does the headset protect hearing?

No. The EHM18-A is not a hearing protection device and does not reduce the dangerous sound pressure of gunshots. When hunting or at the shooting range, use separate certified hearing protection.

Is the headset waterproof?

No. The manufacturer has not assigned an IP protection rating to this model. The earpiece, microphone, PTT switch, and connector must be protected from rain and prolonged moisture.

When is Hytera EHM18-A the right choice?

The EHM18-A is suitable for users who need a lightweight headset with an ear hook and want to choose between the standard PTT button and VOX function. The open earpiece is practical in work environments where, in addition to radio messages, it is necessary to hear surrounding traffic and people.

For noisy environments, a headset with an acoustic tube or noise-reducing earpiece is more suitable. In rainy or very dusty conditions, choose an accessory with the appropriate IP protection rating.

Recommendations

We recommend making a test call and adjusting the radio's VOX sensitivity according to the environment before outdoor use. Excessively sensitive VOX may be triggered by wind, clothing friction, or background noise, while too low sensitivity may cut off the beginning of speech.

Attach the cable to your clothing so that it does not get caught on branches, equipment, or a safety belt. When connecting the plug, turn off the radio and do not force an unsuitable connector into the socket. The screw-lock plug should be fixed by hand, but do not overtighten.

The EHM18-A does not replace active hearing protectors when hunting. If you need to use radio communication together with earmuffs, check in advance whether the ear hook fits comfortably under the hearing protector or choose a hearing protector with a radio input.
