Hints for installation and connection
Fitting of helmet sets:
The two helmet sets consist of two flat padded ear sets to be inserted in the helmet, a microphone with a
flexible thin boom to be installed close to your mouth and a waterproof transmit talk button which can be
fixed within reach of the handle-bar or at your glove.
Supplied are two self-adhesive pads for fitting the earphones in the helmet and a velcro tape adjustable in
length to install the talk button. These adhesive pads do have an adhesive surface on one side (remove
protective foil), on the other side there is a velcro clasp so that ear sets can be easily installed or removed for
adjustment or cleaning. Bikers with only limited space to install the talk button i. e. on a metal plate at the
handle bars may remove the velcro tape and stick the talk button with adhesive pads directly to the desired
location.
Please fix the ear sets with still a small gap between the ears and the helmet. Your ears should not be
completely covered by the ear set because then you might not be able to listen to the surrounding noise of
traffic (due to Road Traffic Act you may not use headsets that completely cover your ears because you
might overhear honking or other signals).
Please do not carry out any technical modifications at the helmet before installing the headset. The ECE
standard for motorbike helmets does not permit to flatten the material inside the helmet i. e. to make space
for the ear set. Fix the microphone so, that it is always close to your mouth with the supplied adhesive pad.
Before fixing the adhesive pads thoroughly clean the desired location (i.e. with alcohol, but do not use any
solvent). Press tightly and remember that it takes several hours until the final strength has been achieved.
The basic installation is very simple- just plug in the 2 headphones (2), and that’s it!
Where to locate the central unit
The best place for location of the central unit is inside or close to the tank knap sack or in the outside-pocket
of your biker-suit.
