Description
Professional Over-the-Ear Swivel Earpiece for CLP Series Radios
Genuine Motorola lightweight 1-wire headset featuring a short cord, in-line PTT and microphone, and reversible left- or right-ear swivel speaker.
The Motorola HKLN4529 (catalog part HKLN4529 / HKLN4529A) is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) commercial audio accessory designed specifically for Motorola CLP series portable two-way transceivers. As the standard factory headset supplied out of the box with new CLP radios, this streamlined 1-wire surveillance earpiece combines an over-the-ear rubberized earhook with an integrated in-line microphone and tactile Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch. It enables retail staff, restaurant servers, hotel concierges, and event personnel to communicate instantly and privately without removing the radio from their belt or uniform holster.
Engineered for full-shift comfort and professional discretion, the Motorola HKLN4529 features an ergonomic C-ring earpiece that rests comfortably on the outer ear without penetrating the ear canal, promoting hygienic wear throughout long work days. The speaker element swivels 180 degrees, allowing seamless adjustment for either the left or right ear. Built with PVC-free, medical-grade materials and reinforced strain reliefs, the assembly features a tailored short cord designed to eliminate slack and prevent snagging when the radio is worn on a collar, chest pocket, or high waist belt. Operating in full compliance with commercial FCC Licensing standards, the HKLN4529 utilizes a secure multi-pin thumbscrew connector that fastens firmly to the radio chassis to prevent accidental detachment during active duty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Motorola HKLN4529 the standard earpiece that comes with the CLP radio?
Yes. The Motorola HKLN4529 is the original factory headset included in the standard retail packaging of new Motorola CLP series radios (including the CLP1010, CLP1040, and CLP1060).
Can this earpiece be worn on either ear?
Yes. The rubberized C-ring earhook incorporates a 180-degree swivel joint, allowing it to be rotated easily for comfortable shift wear on either the left or right ear.
Why does the HKLN4529 feature a short cord?
The short cord design is engineered specifically for users who wear their CLP radio on their lapel, lanyard, or upper chest pocket. It eliminates extra cable slack that could catch on counters, doors, or clothing during active service.
Does this earpiece go inside the ear canal?
No. The speaker sits comfortably outside the ear canal on the outer ear, making it more hygienic for multi-user operations and allowing wearers to hear surrounding ambient sounds and in-person customers.
How does the connector secure to the radio?
The HKLN4529 utilizes Motorola's proprietary CLP multi-pin plug equipped with a knurled screw. Tightening the screw ensures a secure mechanical bond that prevents the earpiece from pulling out during daily movement.
