Clearcom 2.5mm port questions

[msavitt23]

Hi, Our school has a clearcom system and we have a few of the lightweight headsets and some of the normal ones as well. Our beltpacks (601 single channel) have a 2.5mm headset port on them and I was wondering if this can be used with the bose headphones mobile adapter kit.

I appreciate any information you may have on my question or related to the 2.5mm port.

Thanks

From page 19 of the manual:

"Clear-Com designed the auxiliary headset connector, labeled “AUX,”
for use with the CC-25 Ultra-Light headset. The beltpack’s circuitry is
designed to work with the CC-25 headset to produce excellent quality
sound.
While certain types of mobile-phone style headsets will fit the 2.5 mm
AUX jack, using these headsets may degrade system performance. You
can use such mobile-phone style headsets more reliably with
listen-only applications.
By default, the AUX connector provides bias voltage for electret
microphones. With V-Pack, you can also program this connector for
use with dynamic microphones.
Note: Using multiple mobile-phone style headsets in a system could
adversely affect nulling, crosstalk, and overall system performance.

Also, on some of the new ones this is a Firmware update port.

On the 601's programming with V-Pack is done through the 3.5mm TRS connector on the side of the pack, just to add to the confusion for the un-initiated...
