will remain active for all the time you are talking. If there 
is no conversation, the Intercom feature is automatically 
disabled after 20 seconds. To re-enable it, simply start 
talking again. When the Intercom is “VOX” activated, you 
can decide to disable it before the predefined time, simply 
by pressing the Intercom button once.
› To disable the voice enabling mode, follow the instructions
provided in the “Special configurations” section.
Attention: when you use the Intercom feature, the first 
time you activate it (voice or manual) the communication 
will be established with a short delay because of the fact 
that the devices must first recognize each other. After 
that the communication will be immediately established. 
Two Midland BT1 units can communicate up to a maximum 
range of approximately 10 feet outdoors.
Using the telephone feature
To use the Telephone feature, be sure the units are correctly 
paired together, following the pairing procedure described in 
section “Pairing the unit with a cell phone”.
Attention: information provided in this section refers to 
the establishment of a direct communication between 
the cell phone and the BT1 unit. If the cell phone is con-
nected via the GPS Sat-Nav, the cell phone features can 
only be managed via the GPS itself.
Priority: Calls are always private and have a high priority, 
which means that all other communications are tempo-
rarily disabled when a call arrives and automatically re-
enabled once the call ends.
Answering a call
When you hear the phone ring, you can answer in two diffe-
rent ways:
Vocally:
Simply say one word to answer the call and start talking. Re-
membering that you can only do this if you answer the call 
after the third Ring. (Be aware that some phones may not 
support voice answering)
Manually:
Tap the “Phone” button and start speaking. 
Attention: Remember that you can answer the call only 
after the third Ring.
Rejecting a call
If you don’t wish to answer, you can let the cell phone ring or 
press the “Telephone” button for a few seconds (you will hear 
one audio confirmation tone).
Making a call
There are several ways to make a call.
From the cell phone keypad:
Dial the number on the cell phone keypad:
› Press “Send” on the cell phone.
› This way of calling should never be carried out whilst in 
charge of a moving vehicle.
To redial the last number:
› Press and hold “Telephone” button for 3 seconds in order 
to redial the last number (you will hear one audio confirma-
tion tone).
To make a voice call:
› Briefly press “Telephone” button. If your cell phone sup-
ports voice calls, you will be asked to spell the name of the 
contact you wish to call.
The correct operation of this feature depends on the type of 
helmet used (Open or closed faced) and on the speed you 
are travelling at. We suggest you perform a few tests to de-
termine the best settings for you as an individual.
Attention: if you are listening to music with the MP3 
Player of your cell phone, you will not be able to use the 
“Dial last number” and “Voice call” commands, because 
these buttons are used to control the MP3 player. The-
refore, if you want to make a call, you must first disable 
the music by pressing the “Intercom” button for 1 se-
cond (you will hear two audio confirmation tone) before 
making the call.

a call should never be carried out whilst in charge of a mo-
ving vehicle)
