2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the speaker and microphone is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare Your Helmet: Carefully remove the inner lining and cheek pads of your helmet to access the ear pockets and chin bar area.
- Attach Velcro Pads: Apply the provided Velcro pads to the inside of the helmet's ear pockets where the speakers will sit. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying.
- Install Speakers: Securely attach the speakers to the Velcro pads in the ear pockets. Position them directly over your ears for the best audio experience.
- Install Microphone: Choose between the hard tube microphone (for open-face/flip-up helmets) or the soft microphone (for full-face helmets). Attach the microphone to the chin bar area using its adhesive base, ensuring it is close to your mouth for clear voice pickup.
- Route Cables: Carefully route all cables under the helmet's lining and padding to keep them tidy and prevent interference with comfort or safety. Ensure cables do not obstruct helmet removal or emergency release systems.
- Reassemble Helmet: Once all components are securely in place and cables are routed, reinstall the helmet's inner lining and cheek pads.
