Choose between the adhesive base or the clip base for mounting. The adhesive base provides a permanent attachment, while the clip base allows for easier removal. Ensure the mounting location on the helmet is clean and dry before installation.
- Select Mounting Base: Decide whether to use the adhesive base or the clip base.
- Positioning: Identify a flat, suitable area on the left side of your helmet, near the bottom edge, where the unit will not obstruct vision or movement.
- Install Base:
- Adhesive Base: Peel off the protective film and firmly press the base onto the helmet surface for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to cure before attaching the intercom unit.
- Clip Base: Slide the clip base between the helmet shell and the inner padding. Ensure it is securely fastened and does not move.
- Attach Intercom Unit: Slide the Interphone Tour control unit onto the installed base until it clicks into place.
Installing Speakers and Microphones
The audio kit includes speakers and two types of microphones to suit different helmet designs.
- Speaker Placement: Locate the ear pockets inside your helmet. Attach the speakers using the provided adhesive pads, ensuring they are centered over your ears for optimal sound. Use spacers if needed to bring the speakers closer to your ears.
- Microphone Selection:
- Full-Face Helmet Microphone: This is a flexible boom microphone. Attach it to the inside of the helmet, positioning the microphone capsule directly in front of your mouth, ensuring it does not touch your lips.
- Jet/Modular Helmet Microphone: This is a wired microphone designed for open-face or modular helmets. Secure it inside the helmet, ensuring it is close to your mouth and protected from wind noise.
- Cable Management: Route all cables neatly under the helmet padding to prevent discomfort and ensure they are not snagged. Connect the speaker and microphone cables to the corresponding ports on the intercom unit.
