4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to install the microphone and speaker set into your helmet:

1. Choose Microphone Type:
   • For full-face helmets, use the soft microphone, which is typically integrated into the helmet's padding.
   • For open-face or half helmets, use the hard microphone, which can be positioned closer to your mouth.
2. Mount Earphones (Speakers): Identify suitable flat areas inside your helmet, typically near your ears. Attach the Velcro mounting pads to these areas, then firmly press the 40mm earphones onto the Velcro. Ensure they are positioned comfortably and do not obstruct your ears.
3. Position Microphone: Route the microphone cable and position the chosen microphone type (soft or hard) appropriately. The soft microphone can be tucked into the helmet lining, while the hard microphone should extend forward to be near your mouth.
4. Connect to Bluetooth Headset: Locate the Type-C port on your motorcycle Bluetooth headset. Carefully insert the Type-C connector from the microphone and speaker set into this port.
5. Secure Cables: Route all cables neatly within the helmet lining to prevent tangling or discomfort. Use any included cable clips or the helmet's existing channels to secure them.

5. Operating Instructions

This microphone and speaker set functions as an accessory to your main Type-C motorcycle Bluetooth headset. All primary controls for power, pairing, volume, and call management will be handled directly on your Bluetooth headset unit.

• Volume Control: Adjust volume directly on your connected Bluetooth headset.

6. Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your microphone and speaker set:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the earphones and microphone foam covers with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or pulling the cables. Ensure they are not pinched or snagged during helmet installation or removal.
• Moisture: While designed for outdoor use, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging the components in water.

• No Sound from Speakers:
  • Ensure the Type-C connector is fully and securely plugged into your Bluetooth headset.
  • Check the volume level on your Bluetooth headset.
