Troubleshooting
- Cannot connect 2 devices simultaneously: The FX intercom supports connecting to multiple Bluetooth devices. Ensure both devices are in pairing mode and follow the multi-device pairing instructions in the full user manual. If issues persist, try resetting the intercom and re-pairing.
- Intercom not working with Insta360 One RS as microphone: While the FX intercom supports general Bluetooth connections, specific compatibility with third-party camera microphones like the Insta360 One RS may vary. Check the Insta360 One RS manual for external microphone compatibility and settings, and ensure the FX intercom is in the correct mode for microphone output.
- Music sharing during intercom: The FX intercom supports music sharing among users. If you encounter issues, ensure all devices are properly paired for music sharing and within the 100-meter range. Intercom communication and music sharing can typically operate concurrently, but refer to the full manual for specific mode details.
- Poor audio quality/noise: Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly and not obstructed. Verify that the CVC and DSC noise reduction features are active. If riding at high speeds, some background noise may still be present, but it should be significantly reduced.
- Short battery life: Ensure the device is fully charged before use. Battery life can be affected by usage patterns (e.g., continuous intercom vs. standby). If battery life significantly degrades over time, contact support.
User Tips
- For optimal sound quality, ensure your earphones are positioned correctly inside your helmet, directly over your ears.
- Regularly check the Freedconn website for firmware updates to ensure you have the latest features and performance improvements.
- When using group intercom, ensure all riders are within the effective range for stable communication.
- Take advantage of the audio mixing technology to stay connected to your walkie-talkie while also enjoying music or GPS navigation.
