4. Enable the Bluetooth device search feature on your GPS
5. After a slight delay, “Midland BTX1” will be displayed on your GPS.
6. Follow the pairing procedure of your GPS. If a pin code is requested, you must
enter “0000” (four times zero).
7. When successfully paired, the Blue light of the unit will be on for one second
and then the unit will exit the setup mode and switch to the working mode
(the Blue light will start flashing).
When you pair the GPS to the Volume + button, you lose the ability to pair the
phone to the BTX1 unit. You can overcome this limit by pairing the phone directly
to the GPS and then the GPS to the BTX1 unit. All the phone features are therefore
managed by the GPS itself.
GPS navigator always in background
To keep the intercom open while the GPS give the street indication, you must have
the “background” feature active.
How to use the wired audio input
Your Midland BTX1 is also supplied with a wired audio input (AUX), that can be
used to connect an audio source, like an iPod (or any other MP3 Player) or a GMRS
transceiver for group communication or for a coverage increase.
Listening to music
To listen to music from the wired input, connect the audio source using the op-
tional AUX cable.
The volume buttons (Vol + and Vol -) cannot be used to adjust the volume of the
wired audio source. The AGC system with automatically increase the volume on
higher speed.
Attention: Never set the volume of the MP3 Player to the maximum possible. Nor-
mally the best level is about the 70% of the maximum.
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.
Enabling/disabling the wired input
If needed the wired input can be enabled or disabled.
Enabling/Disabling: Make a Long press on the “Rear” button (you will hear one au-
dio beep tone for enabling confirmation and two audio beep tone for disabling).
Using a GMRS transceiver with the cable connection
In order to connect the transceiver to your Midland BTX1, you need to purchase
the specific 2.5mm plug AUX cable, sold separately. 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
The cable connected to the transceiver normally has also a PTT button that can
be placed on the handlebar of your bike or held in your hand (If you are the
passenger rider).
To communicate via the attached radio, press the PTT button to speak and release
it to listen. It is not possible to talk and listen simultaneously.
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 GMRS transceiver for group communications and simultane-
ously maintain the Intercom feature enabled between two or more BTX1 devices,
you must remember that every time you talk to communicate with the GMRS
transceiver (pressing the PTT button), you will also activate the intercom of the
BTX1 to the unit connected to the “Middle” button (thanks to the VOX feature).
To avoid the Intercom activation when you speak on the GMRS, you can decide
to pair the BTX1 unit on the “Rear” or “Forward” (where the VOX is not active) or
if you still want to use the “Middle” button, you must disable the VOX feature, as
explained in the previous section.
Attention! If you disable the VOX feature, you will only be able to answer incoming
phone calls by pressing the “Forward” button.
