will turn to steady blue.
3. Now, press “Volume +” or “Volume -“to increase or reduce sensi-
tivity. Every time you press the Volume buttons the RED light will
flash for confirmation. When you reach the end of the upper and
lower limit, the RED light will not flash.
4. Double press the “Control” button; the Blue light will flash several
times, in order to let you know the selected sensitivity:
once = VOX disabled
Twice = very low sensitivity
3 times= low sensitivity
4 times= medium sensitivity
5 times = high sensitivity
Default = high sensitivity
5. The light indicator is now back to steady RED (“Set up mode”) and
the changes are confirmed
6. If needed, you can adjust again the sensitivity repeating the steps
from point 2, otherwise exit the Setting mode by double clicking
the “Control” button. Once the red light turns off, the blue led
starts blinking. Now you can use your BTCity.
Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)
Follow all the procedure described in the previous steps and choose
the option 1 (VOX disabled). You will see the blue led blinks once.
Wired connection always on
This feature let you keep the wired connection always on, even when
the phone or the intercom is open. This feature can be useful when
you connect a PMR446 transceiver.
Enabling:
› Enter the “Setup” mode.
› Press the “Volume+” and “Volume -” buttons for one second. The
blue LED will flash once.
› To exit the “Setup” mode double press the “Control” button.
Disabling:
› Follow the same procedure up described; now the blue LED will
flash three times
› To exit the “Setup” mode double press the “Control” button.
Recommendations for specific uses
The section that follows, provides a few useful suggestions on how to
achieve maximum performance from your BTCity unit.
Using a PMR446 transceiver
To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase a specific
cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio to your Midland
BTCity:
› Some manufacturers radios use a different pin configuration, so
we recommend that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best
suited to your needs
To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmission Press
Top Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to listen. It is not possible
to talk and listen simultaneously. The cable connected to the transcei-
ver has a PTT button that can be placed on the handlebar of your bike
or held in your hand (If you are the pillion rider).
Adjust the volume of the transceiver to your needs, remembering that
the volume adjustment is controlled by the automatic AGC system
and that it will therefore be automatically increased in relation to
background noise.
If you wish to use a PMR446 transceiver for group communications
and simultaneously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between
two BTCity devices, you must remember that the Intercom feature is
enabled every time you speak by means of the BTCity’s VOX feature.
Consequently, radio communications will be disabled whilst you are
talking with somebody, because they have a lower priority compared
to Intercom communications.
This can be prevented by enabling the “Wired connection always
on” or “Disabling the VOX feature” (both explained in the previous
section).
Disable the VOX feature, as explained in the previous section, to make
sure that the intercom will not automatically be activated when you
speak on the PMR446. To enable the Intercom feature when using this
configuration, you will have to press “Control” button manually.
Attention: never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maxi-
mum possible.
Hint: We recommend that you perform a few tests adjusting the volume of
your iPod/MP3 player so at the normal speed the Headset volume is suited
to your needs. The AGC system will automatically increase the volume on
higher speed. Make a note to remember this setting for future trips.
Attention: the volume adjustment, (“Volume+” and “Volume –“)
buttons, cannot be used to adjust the volume of the wired audio
source(eg MP3 player).
Enabling/disabling the wire input
The wire input can be enabled and disabled
› Enabling: double click the “Control” button (you will hear one audio
confirmation tone).
› Disabling: double click the “Control” button(you will hear two audio
confirmation tones).
Using a Two Way Radio transceiver
To be able to use the transceiver, it is necessary to purchase a specific
cable (sold separately) in order to connect the radio to your Midland
BTCity:
Some manufacturers radios use a different pin configuration, so we
recommend that you ask your dealer as to which cable is best suited
to your needs.
To communicate via the attached radio, press the transmission Press To
Talk (PTT) button to speak and release it to listen. It is not possible to
talk and listen simultaneously. Communications can be activated also
without pushing the PTT button, by enabling the VOX function.
Special configurations
Some Midland BTCity features can be configured to suit specific needs:
› Pairing to BT Remote
› Adjusting/ Disabling the VOX feature (Intercom and telephone)
› Wired connection always on
› Intercom and GPS
Pairing to a BT Remote Unit
When paired to a BTRemote unit, you will have available all the 5
buttons of the remote unit:
When you are in “Intercom” mode
› Press short the “Control” button to open /close the intercom
When you are in “Phone” mode
› Press short “Forward” button: voice dial/answer incoming call
› Press long “Forward” button: dial last number/reject incoming call
› Press short “Control” button: Play/Pause music
When the music is playing:
› Press short “Forward” button: forward a song
› Press short “Backward” button: backward a song
› Press short “Control” button: Play/Pause music
In all mode (Intercom or Phone)
› Press long “Backward” button: enable/disable wired AUX input
› Press very long “Backward” button (7 sec.): enable/disable Vox
Adjusting/ Disabling the VOX feature
(Intercom and telephone)
The Intercom feature can be enabled both manually and vocally
(VOX). The VOX activation is influenced by the background noise and
therefore by the speed.
For optimum results, it is possible to choose one of the following four
microphone sensitivity levels: high, medium, low and very low. The
default setting of BTCity is “high”. It is also possible to disable the VOX
feature in order to activate the Intercom and phone call answering
features in manual mode only.
Adjusting the sensitivity of the microphone (VOX)
1. Enter the Setup mode: Switch your BTCity off.
Press and hold down the central button (Control) until the red
indicator switches on permanently. Your BTCity is now in “Set up
mode”.
2. Press the “Volume+” and “Control” buttons till the red indicator
