The BAOFENG BT-R1 Wireless PTT Ring is a compact push-to-talk accessory
designed specifically for the BAOFENG SW-9 (UV-36 Pro) and UV-29 Pro (UV-29
Plus) handheld radios. It puts PTT control at your fingertip while the radio
stays clipped or carried, making it convenient for driving, cycling, security
work, warehouse operations, and outdoor activities.
Measuring just 1.1 × 1.2 in (2.8 × 3.0 cm), the BT-R1 features dedicated PTT and
volume controls for quick access during radio use. Its dedicated wireless
connection works with a compatible wireless headset for hands-free operation,
while USB-C charging allows convenient power from compatible chargers, vehicle
USB ports, laptops, or portable power sources. A charging cable is not included.
Compact and easy to operate, the BT-R1 provides a practical way to keep radio
controls within reach while staying focused on the task at hand.

QA:
Q: Does the BT-R1 have a built-in microphone or speaker?
A: No. The BT-R1 is a remote PTT switch without a built-in microphone or
speaker. A compatible BT headset is required for audio transmission and
reception with the SW-9 or UV-29 Pro.
Q: Why can't I find “3 Ble Ptt Connect” in the BAOFENG radio's BT menu?
A: The “3 Ble Ptt Connect” option appears only after a compatible BT headset has
been paired. Pair the headset first, then reopen the BT menu to connect the
BT-R1.
Q: Is the BT-R1 rechargeable?
A: Yes. It features a USB-C charging port for convenient recharging. A charging
cable is not included, so use a compatible USB-C cable.
Q: How do I use the BT-R1 for hands-free operation while driving or cycling?
A: Secure the adjustable ring band around your finger, steering wheel, or
handlebar, then press the PTT button to transmit without reaching for the radio.
