3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Follow these steps carefully:

3.1. Helmet Preparation

It is recommended to remove the inner padding of your helmet before installation to facilitate easier access and wire routing. The padding can be re-applied later to hide wires.

3.2. Mounting Bracket Installation

The ET-COM unit can be mounted using either the metal clamp bracket or the 3M double-sided adhesive tape.

• Using the Metal Clamp Bracket: Insert the metal plate between the inner padding and the outer shell of your helmet. Secure it with the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure it is tightened firmly to prevent movement.
• Using 3M Double-Sided Adhesive: If the clamp bracket is not suitable for your helmet, you can directly stick the adhesive mount to a flat surface on your helmet. Remove the red protective layer from the 3M tape before applying.

Figure 3: Easy Installation Guide.

3.3. Speaker and Microphone Installation

The headset includes two speakers and two microphone options (boom mic and button mic). The speakers have different wire lengths; the shorter wire is for the left side, and the longer wire is for the right side.

1. Attach the Velcro pads to the back of each speaker.
2. Place the speakers inside the helmet's ear pockets, ensuring they are positioned directly over your ears for optimal audio. Press firmly to secure the Velcro.
3. Choose your preferred microphone:
   • Boom Microphone: Ideal for open-face or modular helmets. Connect the boom mic to the main unit's microphone port. Secure it inside the helmet, ensuring it is positioned in front of your mouth. You can use the optional boom microphone holder for added stability.
   • Button Microphone: Suitable for full-face helmets. Connect the button mic to the main unit's microphone port. Attach it to a suitable flat surface inside the helmet using its adhesive backing.
4. Route all wires neatly under the helmet's inner padding to keep them hidden and comfortable.

3.4. Attaching the Main Unit

Once the speakers and microphone are installed, attach the main ET-COM unit to the mounting bracket.

• Align the main unit with the quick-release plate on the mounting bracket.
• Press the spring button on the mounting bracket and slide the main unit into place until it clicks securely.
• Connect the 3.5mm jack from the speakers/microphone assembly into the corresponding port on the main unit. Push firmly to ensure a waterproof seal.
