3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation ensures optimal performance and comfort. Follow these steps to install your BT-S3 headset on your helmet.

3.1 Choosing Your Mount: Clamp vs. Adhesive

The BT-S3 comes with two mounting options: a metal clamp and an adhesive mount. Choose the option that best suits your helmet type and preference.

• Clamp Mount: Ideal for helmets with a suitable edge where the clamp can securely attach without obstruction.
• Adhesive Mount: Suitable for helmets where the clamp cannot be used or for a more permanent attachment. Ensure the helmet surface is clean and dry before applying. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive mount and firmly press it onto the helmet surface for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before attaching the main unit.

3.2 Headset Installation Steps

1. Attach the Mount:
   • For Clamp Mount: Loosen the screws on the clamp. Position the clamp on the left side of your helmet, ensuring it's secure. Tighten the screws with the provided Allen wrench.
   • For Adhesive Mount: Clean the desired area on the left side of your helmet with an alcohol swab and let it dry completely. Peel off the protective film from the adhesive mount and firmly press it onto the helmet surface for at least 30 seconds. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before attaching the main unit.
2. Install Speakers:
   • Remove the cheek pads and headliner from your helmet if possible.
   • Attach the Velcro pads (soft side) to the inside of the helmet's ear pockets.
   • Attach the speakers (hard side of Velcro) to the installed Velcro pads, ensuring they are centered over your ears for optimal audio.
   • Route the speaker wires neatly under the helmet lining to avoid discomfort. The shorter wire is for the left ear, and the longer wire is for the right ear (which also acts as the FM antenna).
3. Install Microphone:
   • Choose between the boom microphone (for open-face/modular helmets) or the soft-wire microphone (for full-face helmets).
   • Attach the microphone's Velcro pad to the inside of the helmet's chin bar (for soft-wire mic) or near the left cheek pad (for boom mic).
   • Position the microphone close to your mouth, ensuring the yellow triangle on the boom mic points towards your mouth for best voice pickup.
   • Route the microphone cable neatly along the helmet's interior.
4. Connect Main Unit:
   • Slide the BT-S3 main unit onto the installed mount until it clicks securely into place.
   • Connect the speaker and microphone cables to the corresponding ports on the main unit.
5. Reassemble Helmet: Carefully reinsert the helmet's headliner and cheek pads, ensuring no wires are pinched or cause discomfort.
